I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my father suddenly this May, and we all had a family trip scheduled for August. It was nice to get away, but the sadness was still there. I really think you should still go, but maybe reschedule for a later date. That way you have gotten over the shock a little, and can get away. These first few weeks are going to be terribly busy for you--dealing with arragements, life insurances, pensions, estate.......believe me, I went through it with my mom. It has been three months, and she is still sorting through paperwork. If you have any questions about that kind of stuff, feel free to pm me. I will remember you in my prayers, and your children. I am 34, so I am more mature to lose a parent, but it hurts nonetheless. Especially when it is suddenly. My parents were vacationing in Cancun and my father had a heart attack. It was a nightmare....still feel like I am walking in a dream and am going to wake up any moment.
So, if you can postpone your trip maybe for about a month, I think it would be easier for you. And I say easier meaning by that time you will just want to get away from it all, and it might be a good thing where you can be in a frame of mind to celebrate your husband instead of just mourning him. I am still mourning my dad, of course, but now I can think of the good times without breaking down. I hope the Lord gives you comfort in your time of need, and remember to let your friends and family take care of you. It is the only thing they can do right now to help you....so let them.
