Several people have asked how the visit went with Keith's family. It was the first time for us to be together since Keith's funeral. Though it wasn't easy, it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. I think it helped that we were in a neutral place. The kids were also a great distraction!

I didn't cry while I was with them, but I did cry after I left. I was listening to the radio. I didn't have much choice in regards to music, so I was listening to a country station. Big mistake! Songs like "One More Day" played over and over. I didn't change the station because I figured it was good to get some of my pent up emotion out.

Keith's family seems to be doing as well as can be expected. We didn't talk about Keith a whole lot. I think it is just too fresh. I did encourage them to go to a support group. I know everyone handles their grief differently, but it has really helped me to talk to others who have experienced a similar loss.
