14. PARENTING AFTER LOSING A SPOUSE - Missy Cook

Missy Cook, wife and mother of 3 boys, woke up early on morning to her young husband suffering a massive cardiac arrest, who passed a few days later. Facing the trauma of her experience and now becoming a solo mom raising her boys on her own meant everything about life changed all of a sudden. Missy, a leader of a Solo Parent Society group in Nashville, TN shares her heartbreaking story and guides us through answering questions like: On top of overwhelming grief, what were some of the primary feelings you felt in the days following your husband's passing? How did the boys handle it initially? Looking back what were the 'life lines' to you in that season? Is there anything that you wish you handled differently? You now lead a Solo Parent Society group focusing on Parenting After Losing A Spouse, what would you say are common themes that come up from others that have lost a spouse? What would you say to others listening who may have lost a spouse, that feel all the things that you felt?
