  • STILL haven't told the kids yet... MY HONEST EMOTION and outpouring of grief. My husband suddenly died July 16, 2023. From a happy family with a mom, dad, and 8 kids - to now a widow with 8 kids... Their ages are: 1.5, 4, 7, 10, 12, 16, 18 and 20. Now this grave loss has caused a ripple affect not only in our daily lives, but financially, as well as emotionally, and a great looming uncertainty.
    On the kind advice of some viewers I have set up a Patreon account one week after my first video on grief. If you feel so inclined to donate $2.00 I seriously thank you from the bottom of all our hearts!

    Remember that "councelling" help that you turned down at the hospital? The people who would have come to help you would have been able to answer all the questions you are agonizing over right now. They weren't offering you psychiatric treatment. They were offering you genuine, practical help and advice that you are clearly in desperate need of. Please call them amd tell them that you've changed your mind.

      @@kbkb117 I get the feeling she's very reluctant to have any perceived authority figure involved with her family. That's understandable considering what she dealt with in the past. I'm much like that myself. That being said, this really isn't a situation that anyone can be expected to handle on their own.

    Tell ALL THE CHILDREN! When my mom's mom died, no one told her. She was between 8-9 years old, and her brother was under 6. They saw their mom leave to go to the hospital and never come back. Then no one ever said anything else about it. My mom is 83 now and she still talks about the trauma of abandonment she felt that her mom left her and didn't WANT to come back for her. PLEASE TELL THEM ALL!!

All through my childhood and teens I half expected that I'd been lied too and that she would come back one day! Please tell.your kids now! It's their right to know.

      I absolutely agree with you. However, her younger children probably still haven't grasped the fact of death. I don't think it's a case of not telling them. When you are dealing with very young children, you ought to be careful with your words. Maybe just simplify it a little and say "he loves you, he's up in heaven now" and then, as they gradually get older, that's when you can give them a little more detail. I say this because my dad took his own life. I have a son who was very confused as to why I was sobbing hysterically in front of him. I think he became quite frustrated because he didn't quite understand why I was acting that way. He was only 4 at the time. So I told him that his grandfather died and went to heave. But, it was a little more detailed than that. If there's one thing I could go back in time for, it would be for that very moment when I told him because ever since then, he asks some dark questions bit than again, I think it's just his curiosity. But anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I wish I had waited to tell him when he could handle it and understand it better. Sorry for the rambling!❤😂😘🥰

      You are completely correct. Honesty is the only way to face a situation such as this. I am so very sorry that decisions made by adults, had the ripple effect of leading to years of pain and yearning for you, for a Mom that simply wasn’t able to return to you. To be told that information by other kids, had to be so shocking and utterly devastating that I just can’t imagine. That information should have been given gently from the parent still there or an extremely close and trusted family relative or friend. I’m sure their heart was in the right place with you but ironically, their decision only caused longer lasting anguish. Again, firstly I am very sorry you lost you Mom at such a very tender age and secondly, I am so sorry for the years of anguish that not being told properly put on you. I sincerely hope you are in a much better place now. Much sympathy and take care....

    3) See a counselor ASAP! You will need the safety of a listener to help you sort out what to do from here
    4) Go and apply for the benefits that you may qualify for
    5) If you have him cremated, you can keep his ashes in an urn at home.
    6) Also, you can do this, it's amazing how people can continue on with their heart completely shattered.

      Pain meds are controlled substances. He didn’t die in a hospital or home hospice. I’m sure they are doing diligence for those two reasons. Not a bad thing. Very concerned about their age difference. The age of her son and her age at conception, that he didn’t want to be buried or cremated seems a little fringe, she does not drive, her instinct is to ask her adult son to decide things. Lots of concerning things here. Was she groomed? Does she ordinarily think everything is her fault? Not telling the kids while telling strangers in front of the kids? The isolation her family is living? They will prorate stuff. If she takes too long to tell he died to this agency and that. Does the kid not have car insurance already he should have insurance already. Even the 16 year old didn’t get told properly. He is in the hospital..? Mom 101 not telling something is the same as lying. I really hope she tells every single child before the overhear it or watch it, should come from mom. It’s not too late to stop putting off the news. Canada should have public defenders if it comes to that. I’m not sure lawyering up the priority. Maybe it’s distraction from the trauma? Is the house dirty or just sensitive to having others in the house? Canada should have financial aid for children who lost a parent and the spouse caring for them. Maybe she should reconnect with family? Find an actual Christian church to be part of. She mentioned her husband and Christianity but not herself. Curious. @@mollymigraine9204

It really is up to you to make these decisions, and to be honest with all of your kids. They will respect that. I know you’re getting a lot of unsolicited advice right now, but I promise you that it is because most people truly care.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I think it’s very important that you set all 8 children down and explain to them that their daddy went to heaven. Please do not put the burden on your oldest children. Your children are going to respond the way mom leads them. The sooner you tell them the less stress you will have. Keeping this secret from them is not healthy. Reach out to the children’s physician and ask for advice. Just keep encouraging them that as a family…you all will be fine. You are definitely overwhelmed and you need help and guidance. My oldest sister lost her husband at a very young age. Her husband was 37 year’s old and she was 24. He died of a massive heart attack. I am not sure why you are worried about why you would be charged with your husband’s death or neglect. IF your husband doubled up on his medication, he could have had undiagnosed dementia. My oldest sister is in end stage Alzheimer’s at age 75. The oldest kids need to be in school and learn to stand on their own. You can lean on them, but please don’t always rely on them for making big decisions. They are at the age where they need to make friends and feel confident in their own environment. Please understand that I am not criticizing you, but just trying to help you navigate since you appear to be so overwhelmed. I would definitely get the house cleaned and organized. Your family/children need to be exposed to other people. It could be church, school or day programs for children. It is not healthy for you or the children to be isolated from the world. Love and prayers to you ❤. I will be following. I am commenting from the US.

      Very good comment ❤ with love and respect, she asked and you told her. I hope 🤞🏼 you can tell your kids asap and don’t give them responsibility over your kids, they can help but they need to grief too and mourning is not easy at all and their age is still developing. Clean the environment will help a lot even for therapy ❤ seek advise if you have free resources, call the social services cause it looks like you are hiding from something. Tell them why you don’t want them inside, your kids are your focus, your strength and it will help you to get up every day, it’s hard but we can survive a lost 🙏🏼 l lost my mom and it’s hard in any age, so tell them, they will tell you if they want to see their dad or not, is very important to the brain to see it, to process. I still can’t process fully my grandmas lost, cause I was not able to fly from other state, l see her ashes but I can’t process and she died like 5 years ago.

    This comes from a loving place. It’s not normal to allow a 70 year old to lay on the kitchen floor with vomit coming out of his mouth. How do you leave someone you love like that. Please take room by room and clean. It’s overwhelming to think of the entire home. If you tackle room by room it won’t be so bad. The older kids need to be taught cleanliness. They will feel better in a clean and tidy home. You got this.

      Well to me it’s obvious that she knows she effed up. The man was dying on the kitchen floor for hours and she just left him there. Of course it’s possible that him being passed out after taking a bunch of pain meds was a usual sight and that’s all she thought was going on. But she also knows how it looks that paramedics got called to the home when her husband was dead on the kitchen floor, laying in vomit and he had a severe case of pneumonia so it should have been obvious the man needed urgent medical care, long before she called for it. There’s enough there to charge her if they want to. I don’t think anyone suspects she murdered him but she’s rightfully worried about how much trouble she’s in legally for ignoring signs that he needed help. Take the circumstances of how he died, the fact that he was overdosed on narcotics and left to slowly die in vomit on the kitchen floor and combine it with all the other circumstances like the condition of the house, small kids being awake in the middle of the night, the baby not having a crib, etc etc etc. She knows at the very least, that it LOOKS bad. I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes with the police even if she’s being 100% truthful and she just thought he’d gone overboard on the pain pills again but that he wasn’t actually going to die.

    I’m 8 years away from that horrible day, and I still miss him, but the grief gets easier as the time goes by, and life WILL become livable for you again!
    Please, please see a grief counselor, and don’t rely on your newly-adult sons’ advice-they’re barely adults!!!!! They need to look TO YOU to help them get thru this!!!!!!

    I was left completely alone after my husband passed from a three month horrific bout of stomach cancer. I planned (hoped) we would have another 30 years. He dropped from 180 with a six pack to 90 lbs. We met at church when we were 13 & 14 and we married at 18 & 19.
    I was laying here in my empty house and I thought about all the billions of widows through out all of time. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, but if ALL of those people could do it, then I could, too. Didn’t know how I was going to do it, but I was. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been almost five years.
    I don’t think you should operate from fear. Face it head on. All the children need to be told according to their age and maturity. Get the house cleaned up. Have the older children do the brunt. You will feel so much better with a clean house.
    You cannot depend on emotional support from the oldest two. By that I mean they are trying to deal with this from their own perspectives. They need to figure out their own lives now.
    For your children’s sakes you need to have a stiff upper lip & handle your business. Cry at night or when they aren’t around. Writing in a journal might help, too. You could get your Bible & a notebook and write out different verses that speak to you. Pray! God is right there with you and He is wanting to help.

Tell your kids (in age appropriate ways), as difficult as it may be, they deserve to know, and be allowed to process the situation in their own ways. My dad told my sister and I, the night that my mom passed away. I can not imagine how I would have felt now 30+ years later if I hadnt been allowed to know from when it happened.

      Your children should be told together, as a family unit, giving the information at a level the youngest child can understand. “Daddy loves you and he’s watching us from heaven.” Something to that effect. The older children who want more explanation will come to you with their questions. Your children deserve the truth about their father. If they are mature enough to ask the question they deserve an honest, complete answer given in a loving way. Please reach out for all the help you may be entitled to.

    This absolutely does not belong on CZcams. This is THE LAST thing you should be thinking about. I understand you are in terrible pain, but trauma dumping on the world with your innocent children crawling all over you isn't any way to cope. Your list of things you need to do is none of our business and trust me when I tell you, your kids are going to be extra traumatized when they see that you've exploited them and the death of their Father all over CZcams. I know this is harsh and some may call me "heartless," but this isn't the space for any of this. Get off the internet. The more videos you make, the more people will definitely be calling child protective services. I don't know what the goal is with sharing the most private, traumatic information with strangers instead of your kids. Get help and get into taking care of yourself and your children. YOU are the parent, not your older children.

He had to have fallen there, because I doubt he just laid down there to nap. Most people who are in pain, usually don't lay on a kitchen floor. They lay in a bed or a recliner. How could you not have questioned this? Didn't you hear a thud in the kitchen?

    The children are malnourished and obviously very behind mentally.

    This is a lot!! I'm sorry for your loss. I do want to make some suggestions . I'm a therapist and I specialize in trauma. I understand shock and trauma well. Making this video and sharing this information may feel good for you to have a space and outlet, but I suggest you find yourself a therapist and talk it out with them alone. They don't just say this or that to you. we are trained to handle these situations and regulate emotions, build coping skills, help make plans, help you process events and emotions and provide you with a safe and private space.
    This video is working against you. This video is sharing information that can be seen in many ways and used against you.
    You're giving more information than a lawyer woulld suggest or be able to defend later if needed.
    The responsibility the eldest ones have might effect them in a harmful way. They are your children and they are still very young and they lost their dad. They shouldn't be relied on or leaned on, or asked for advice on this. Especially legal advice on how to best handle this or parenting advice on when and if to tell the children.
    I am sorry that you feel alone and scared and don't have anyone else, but I have to advocate for the children here.
    You have to tell all the kids. It will not get better, they will not be easing in, they are building hope, they are being misled, they are losing out on truth and reality of the lose of their dad and they will find out and it will hurt that just as much then as it would now.. maybe worse.
    Worse due to eventually finding out you knew and held it back, their 2 older brothers knew and kept it a secret too.
    Making a video of him as he was snoring on the fall to show him how it affects him should have been hidden.
    I;m curious as you have teens who know you make videos on here so can't they just find them and see this?
    I'm sorry but you said how it was normal, so normal you left him there and have seen in all the time. But not normal enough to have to prove to him in a video?
    I'm not saying you did anything, just saying it comes off insincere. But it's out there now.
    Please hire a lawyer, speak with them .
    I can't imagine losing my spouse and being left with our children either and I understand the issues of finances too. but having that be on you to do list and mind on day one will all be seen in a bad light.
    I have n idea what is going on, what your situation is, but I am just saying it can appear to look bad for you and suggest you don't make this all public.
    Please take care of you and the kids!!!!!

I'm not either it was the smartest to tell on video that they sa him laying on the floor but didn't check if he's breathing. At the same time good to be honest and I really doubt she would be responsible for it as he was responsible for his own health and medicine and if he took too much pain medication, she was not his career but wife and then she has all the kids to care for.

      Thank you for saying this.
      I've been struggling with seeing these videos, because I'm super worried about the kids and how all this will emotionally hit them, once they know the truth.
      She needs legal advice and she needs to stop posting on here.
      But what's most concerning, is how she's brushing off the kids, when they come to check on her.
      They must know something is wrong, and kids are not as blind as some think they are.
      That 3 year old could say something to the others.
      I hated seeing how the kids in the background are just being ignored. Especially at a time like this.
      I'm just hoping someone she knows sees this or the authorities. Because the kids need some support for sure.
      She said to much, and that video she talks about filming, is a great concern in itself. I am not understanding why they would leave him on the floor, as there was her and 2 of her sons in thier 20s, who could have picked him up off the floor, and put in a bed. But they chose not too.
      I do feel for her situation, I would not want to be in that spot. But she also is an adult and there are consequences when this stuff happens.
      I really do hope this family gets the proper help.
      I know how bad the mental health system is here in Ontario. I myself am having a very hard time trying to get support, and I'm asking for it. And for many years can't find the proper help. The system is broken. Which leaves alot of people without the help they need.
      I really hope the kids aren't put into a worse situation. They have been through alot already.
      I hate seeing the system not working for so many. I hate seeing her clearly struggling, and not understanding what she's doing is harmful.
      I wish this family all the best, they have so much to work on.
      I'm hoping the authorities are involved now, and I really hope they are given good people to help them through this. Because even help sometimes is worse then the situation they have already been through.
      Again, a broken system for mental health. It's awful.
      Some think it's so easy to just go out and get the help, and it's really not that simple, unless you have money for a private doctor. Government assistance in these areas, offers very little help. It's exhausting really, trying to find help out there and listening to people saying, just do this and just do that, that help is out there.
      It's not that easy to find, as alot seem to think it is. But this situation is bad, and they definitely need someone stepping in, because she's clearly not handling things very well and it is causing emotional harm on everyone involved there.

I’ve been with my husband almost 24 years and I’m a sahm and couldn’t imagine losing my husband. I would love to be here for you. I don’t deal with family much nor do I have the friend life. Take care of yourself❤

    Please tell all the children together, and soon. You all need to lean together to get through this. It will bring you all closer and allow grief to progress normally. Best of luck to all of your family.

    Omg those kids are going to be traumatized. The oldest ones because they didn’t help their father and the young ones cause the mom didn’t tell them whats going on

    Call a pastor at one of your local churches and ask for a home visit because you lost your husband. They can help you deal with your grief and pray with you. I’ll keep you and your children in my prayers.🙏🏻

    I want to be as kind and compassionate as I possibly can. First of all, I know grief and loss. I am 75 and my husband who was 74 died suddenly of a heart attack last February 4th. Grief and loss are basically the same at any age and stage of life. It is how you deal with life after the death that can differ. You certainly have many issues and much more to deal with than I did, but honestly, you need someone to help you because it is obviously overwhelming you. It is sad that you isolated yourselves all of these years because friends are who will help in times like these and surround you and help with the issues are are now having to face alone. It is a mistake to not sit the children down together and in terms they can understand, you MUST tell them their father was very sick and he died. To not tell them is cruel and so wrong. You will create many problems if you think holding this news is the right thing to do. NO. And the 12, 16, 18 and 20 year old kids can help you support the younger kinds. You must be honest, you must NOT look to the kids for their opinions and advice. Let them be kids, let them all grieve in their own way and don't expect them to be adults. You need someone to help you get a grip on your situation. You need professional guidance and help. Your videos are hard to watch. Take a shower, wash your hair, put on clean clothes. These superficial things will help you feel better, and clear your head so you can think more clearly. You have to take care of yourself in order to take care of your kids. Call every agency you can. They will point you in the right direction. Call a church. I don't know what Canada has but they must have many resources and this is the time to call them. CZcams is great, many grief sites helped me. But you need in-person solid help right now. You can chat on CZcams after you get in person help. I wish I lived close...I would gather people to help clean your house, help with the kids, and do the things that overwhelming you. You and these kids need help NOW. Come on Canada...step up and help this woman. This is a tragic story all the way around.

    Hello, my dear, I can't imagine what suffering you are going through now, losing your most beloved person, my sincerest condolences for the person you lost. Your husband was a good man and he will always watch over you and the children, looking at you from heaven. He may not be with you physically, but his soul will always be with you. You say that you don’t have friends, I think that many people will be here on this channel to be your friends and support you in good and bad times, I am sending hugs and kisses to you and your children 😢❤

    He was not snoring, he was doing the death rattle. During that state he had no awareness around him and his body was finally shutting everything down. If you watch any video of an actively dying person you will hear the same sounds. It goes on for a couple of hours before they finally go silent. Acting immediately when you saw him on the kitchen floor would have likely changed the result but either way you’re definitely going to need to find childcare and work because there’s no way you can support that many kids with whatever death benefit you may get.

      This I have heard the snoring many times it does sound like they were asleep but you are correct it's the death rattle.

      My 35 year old daughter passed away 14 years ago. She often slept on the floor because of her back pain and she snorted a lot also but when her husband came home from work and she was laying in the floor sleeping he immediately noticed that her snorting was different. He started CPR immediately and had his almost 9-year-old son ( my grandson) to call 911. The paramedics arrived, which was my other son-in-law, and immediately took over doing CPR all the way to the hospital.They intubated her after shocking her heart, but it was too late. Even my nine-year-old grandson knew that his mom’s snoring didn’t sound right. The death rattle is very different from snoring. I miss my daughter my life will never be the same but I’m thankful that I know I will see her again one day in heaven.😢

      This is true but any normal person would call for aide when not being able to wake someone

    I am so sorry for your loss. This story reinforces what I have ALWAYS told my (now 22year old) daughter: Never set up a life with someone that you can’t take over on your own, financially and physically, should something happen to your partner or your relationship.
