    I am so sorry for your loss. I really don't know what to say except that my heart goes out to you.

    On the health exam side, I would ask about a mammogram and a pap smear. Stay on top of those. If you are 50 or over, do the colonoscopy. These are all things that suck but the tests are less onerous than the treatment and it's always better to catch them early. I would also look into getting a flu shot, it in theory keeps you healthier. I know I have been harangued into it every year by my oncologist, and I think it's working for me - if i get sick, it doesn't last long. Also, take care of your teeth and vision as well. I used to just never go to the doctor or dentist, but now I figure if insurance will pay, it is better for me to stay up to date on all this stuff. It is good that you are wanting to take care of yourself.

    Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry for your loss. Please be kind to yourself in the weeks and months ahead of you, and do take up local friends, family and community’s offers of help so you can get a break. Let us know what we can do virtually too here!

    As far health checks; I echo what others said above.

    I'm a so sorry for your loss and can't imagine how hard each day is. I'm sure you are beyond stressed and you're running on minimal sleep. Take time to ensure you get back to a normal routine and make exercise a priority. Don't be afraid to ask for help and support. I know a few friends who have benefitted from grief support groups, especially for parents with children.

    My sincere sympathies to you and your kids. When I went through a sudden loss reading books about dealing with different grief helped me. I know it’s not for everyone but it may help at some point.

    Take care and try to make some time for yourself
