It's ok to hurt like you do...that is all normal ok? Just keep remembering how it feels to wake up with a smile on your face too....pretty soon the good days will out-weigh the bad ones. It just takes some time.

The reason I was thinking of a short lunch for tomorrow was that you mentioned your son is 15? It may be a good way to spend a little one on one time with him too. You can take turns with each of your children on the weekends that they both aren't there. The weekend after next(you have them together next weekend right?)...maybe a lunch date with your daughter. It can be a special time with each one of them alone and they will look forward to it as much as you. It doesn't have to cost much either....it will be the time with each of them will be worth its weight in gold

With them growing up ....they will look back on their time with you as a wonderful Dad who is taking such courageous steps to get well. Keep them informed as to how you are too...... they may have great insight into ways you can handle things too.
