Hi,
Recently found this again thanks to RobFTC and thought I should say hi. I was a previous member of the YWBB.
Five years ago I suddenly lost my wife to a postpartum pregnancy complication. I have an eight year old and a five year old I have been raising myself since then. I've had the support of many people over the past five years but I have really done most of the work on my own (and with a huge amount of help from an amazing nanny I found a few months after losing my wife.) I'm glad you all have a forum here again.
I have my ups and downs just like anyone. Mostly doing alright now, though there are still some bad days.
-Mike
