My husband died on 29th March, suddenly and without warning, he was only 39. The children and I have naturally been left devastated but somehow we are managing to keep breathing.
Our youngest son is 7yrs old and for the first year ever he has become aware of Father's Day (through media advertising, shop promotions etc) - I've found myself wishing he had never learned to read . He has asked what are we going to do on Father's Day and whilst I'd really like to pretend its just not happening, for him that doesn't seem an option. I can't think what to do - every where we go will be full of fathers with their children and it will be like a knife through our hearts
We don't even have the option of visiting grandfathers as our only surviving grandparent lives 400 miles away. A lovely teacher at school had arranged to do a balloon release with my youngest and another child at school who lost his father several years ago so I don't really want to repeat this. Does anyone have any suggestions?
