New normal?

I was driving yesterday and got an overwhelming feeling that I needed to say something to God. You see God and I have not had a conversation since Jerry died. I have not said anything to him since I begged him to spare his life. I remember the last time I cried out to him. After I left the chapel I got this horrible feeling that I was losing him soon and that I needed to hurry and be by his side at that moment. Maybe God was telling me something. 
I was crying in the car yesterday when I got this feeling...I saw a church. I pulled in he parking lot and thought about going inside. But what would I say? I still don't know if I even believe that God is there anymore. 
I decided that I wasn't ready and had nothing to say. I pulled out of the parking lot and went home. 

Nothing is the way it used to be. Things that I do, say...believe. 

What is normal now? Everyday I wake up and part of me still wonders of this is all a dream...a nightmare. A part of me wants to just fall back asleep and wake up in the life that once was. Where we were happy, and clueless as to what was yet to come. Our days filled with routine, structure, and schedules. Our evenings sitting around at the dinner table laughing while we watched King of Queens or Impractical Jokers. Our weekends, we sometimes spent at soccer or baseball games after which we would go out to eat at one of our favorite spots. Some weekends we just woke up and said, let's go somewhere overnight or take a trip to Vegas with the kids and leave within the hour, bags packed for a fun weekend getaway......that was our life. We laughed a lot together. We told each other I love you, we did our best to understand each other. We worked hard to play hard and be a family. 
As the 6 month mark of Jerrys death approaches, The summer is ending. After all that we went through, and then moved, we had a lot happening this summer. In the next few weeks we will have to get into a new routine. A new "normal". School will start, soccer practices, SAT's, schedules, and structure will have to be a part of our life in order to keep our sanity. I am scared of this. He is supposed to be here, telling me not to buy so many school clothes for the kids and thenspoiling  them with expensive sneakers. He's supposed to be carrying our chairs to the soccer games making me laugh on the sidelines as we cheer on our son. He should be talking to Ty about senior year and guiding him on his college applications. But our new normal is not this way. I try to think about things he would say, or what his opinion about something would be. I struggle with making decisions on my own, and sticking with any type of schedule. 
We went to the mall today to shop for some nice outfits for an upcoming wedding and I was thinking of him the whole time. I was looking at Ty standing there in a suit and thinking how Jerry would have told him how he is handsome and wore it well. Then he would have made a joke about how Ty finally listened to his fashion advice after all these years. 
How am I supposed to go through these moments and not be sad all the time. All of these milestones that he should be here for. 
I have lots of friends and family around me but I have never felt so lonely. I miss talking to him. I miss his smile and our weekend adventures. Jay told me that when he sees a "brown kid with a brown dad and mom with my complexion" it makes him sad. He's actively looking for people that resemble his family and missing it. I feel a turning point coming, or a wave, or mountainous hill to climb. This new normal will someday start to not feel so new. We will begin to get used to doing things without him here. I can't imagine what it will feel like but I am sure it will come.

March 27, 2008 - 2:10am 6lbs 8oz ❤️ I wished for you for a long time. My heart was bursting as you made your way into this world. We thought we were so ready for you. We had all the clothes, gadgets, baby contraptions and tools that we needed to make sure you had all that you wanted. But you didn’t need any of that, you just needed us. Our family of 3 was now the four of us. An 8 year old brother who was so proud to have that role, a dad who melted at the sight of you and a mom who loved you before you were even conceived. You completed me. You are my baby Jay. You always have been and always will be. You bring so much Joy to my life. You are smart, whitty, persistent, inquisitive, brave and strong. Those last two are traits that you have had to lean on these past few years. I have gotten a lot of my strength from you, in ways you wouldn’t even know. Your smile, and sarcasm are my favorite parts of you. Or when you show me something you have done and you get this proud look on yo

We didn't die too

This past year has taught me a lot. I talk about it all the time. I am different, changed, not the same person I was before. Grief does that. It rips at your inner core, the bottom of your soul, and pulls all of who you are out of you, thrown into a blender and tossed in the air. Then you have to kind of stand there with a bucket and catch what is left of you hope that some things have stayed in tact.  When Jerry died, I felt so lost. when you lose your husband and you have kids, it deepens the sadness, and heartache, because not only are you grieving for yourself, you are grieving for them too. I look back and I know that some things I have done or said in the last year with my boys has not been the ideal way to do things when someone dies. But who said I have to do it a certain way? Everyone is different in how they feel, grieve, and grow. It is hard for me to talk to my boys about their grief. It literally feels like my insides are being ripped out when I have a conversation a

Trauma, Triggers, and Tears.

In "This Widow Life" of mine, I have met many other widows. We are all going through the same loss, but how our loss happened is not the same. Some lost their husband from a car accident, suicide, heart attack, cancer. I think that there are different traumas associated with the different losses. I am not saying that any of them are worse than the other. They are all horrible, and losing your spouse is trauma enough, no matter how it happens. We deal with our grief, and the waves of it. The ups and downs, the emotion, the tears. There is no book that says "This is what to do when you lose your husband" or "This is how to live after he is gone" We navigate This Widow Life as best we can. Jerry had liver and bile duct cancer. Stage 4....So his battle was swift and he died 8 weeks after diagnosis. Things happened so quickly in those few months especially the last 11 days. When he was admitted to the hospital on 2/9/17 I had no idea he would be gone by
