I’m sorry for the loss and grief you’ve experienced, first your son - such a dreadful tragedy! - and now your ex-wife. Whatever you felt about her, there were good times. There were children. It was complicated. This means a lot of emotion. It’s messy. And harder when there’s a death.

There’s no rule book for how you should feel. It’s just going to be a roller coaster of a range of emotions and all you can do is ride it out.

In time, those rough edges will soften. Thank heaven we heal.

Thank you for sharing your story.
