Right before dying, my husband turned to me and whispered, “I’m sorry.” Confused, I asked him, “For what?” He simply replied, “You’ll see.” Four agonizing weeks later, my life was upended in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Her kids call 911 after finding out who he is.
Four weeks after my husband’s cryptic last words, I’m still grappling with my loss. Every day feels like a struggle to keep going, and I find myself constantly questioning what he meant. His words echo in my mind, compounding my grief with confusion. The house feels empty without his presence, and the weight of his absence presses heavily upon me. Our once lively home now feels eerily silent.
The kids are struggling too, each in their own way. Timmy barely talks anymore, retreating into his room and hiding behind video games. Lucy, on the other hand, has become extra clingy, refusing to leave my side. Their schoolwork is suffering, teachers have called home several times. They ask questions I can't answer. “Why did Daddy say that?” “What did he mean?” It's heartbreaking seeing them this way.
