Prayers for you and your family. What you have is worth doing whatever it takes to be there for.. All the above is awesome advice and church helped me a lot even though I have quit going like I used to, I still do not close my eyes without a talk with my father. Depression is a monster to get through but it will pass and come back like a wave. Take advantage of the good times and they will hang around more than the bad eventually but you have to water your own grass to keep it green as the neighbors.

Make the most of every minute with the family. Instead of spending money on that Alcohol spend it on a family bowling night or something, maybe even a baby sitter for 3 hours to take the wife out for a dinner. Kid's can make a wedge in your relationship also. They are awesome but you need some us and me time in there also.

Losing a close loved one is awful but something that is inevidible in this life. We all go through it and there is nothing we can do to stop it the majority of the time. Everyone will be touched by this and someday you will leave some one behind yourself, so make the most of it that you can.

This is your new job. Put the work in my man. You got this.
