    Be as strong as you can, Robert. Besides your kids, there's a lot of us around the globe that think the world of you.

    You need anything in the coming days, please ask. It'd be a privilege.

    I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.

    I guess any advice about how to move forward from here, considering I have a 16-year-old daughter. One thing I am doing is getting us a dog. I also invite people over more frequently so that we have some company on a regular basis. I also give her ideas about things we can do together and I also give her all the space she needs. Yesterday, I gave her a Lego set, expert level, and she really enjoys it.

    Such a tough age for a young woman to lose her mom. I hope that you will be brought closer together by helping each other through. Your instincts sound good - make sure that you take steps to take care of yourself, too, though.

    Sounds like you are doing all the right things. I think it's especially good to have more people over because quiet times can be rough. The good thing is that kids are pretty resilient. They cope surprisingly well.

    I learned of this just now...

    Oh, Robert, my heart aches for you!
    I've lost both parents, a couple of siblings, and several close friends; but never the one person in my life that is as close to me as I'm sure your wife was to you, Robert. The only advice I can offer comes from others who've gone through a tragedy like this; do nothing initially. By that I mean don't make any drastic changes suddenly; give yourself and your family some time to absorb what's happened, to grieve, and accept it (usually a year from what I've been told). Then begin to rebuild your lives.
    You and your family are in our prayers.
    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.
