My father in law passed away yesterday, after he got a really bad infection earlier this week. He had serious health issues and all, so while it's ever so upsetting, it wasn't totally unexpected.

My husband is taking it really hard. I wish there was something I could do to make him feel better. I feel so useless, there's nothing I can do to help him. All I can do is be there, and be supportive, and you'd better believe I will be, but... what would I give to take that hurt away from him. I really hate seeing my loved ones suffer.

Honestly, I'm still pretty numb about it. I'm sure it will hit me once we have the funeral on Tuesday. So not looking forward to that...

So, that's why I haven't updated this blog in a few days. Haven't had a chance... It's been way too crazy around here.

Prayers for you and your family and for hubby. I know it is hard and I know it hurts but the memories will soon out weigh the sadness. We have to go on for our children and spouses and for the generations to come. All you can do is be there and give them a shoulder if they need it. HUGS to all of your and you! God Bless you during this trying time.

I don't know if this means anything, but the night before last I was working on a layout. I kept staring at the pretty metallic elements you made. Now I wonder if God was pointing me in your direction. Then this morning Selena sent me here to offer my condolences. I hope it helps, even if just a little.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It is so very hard to deal with the grief of loosing a parent, or anyone you love. Like you said, just be there for him; and from lots of experience, I know that with time the hurt will get a little easier.
