Hello and good luck to everyone, my first blog today, im wondering if their is similar people in my situation, who has lost their wife at a young age, i have two children who are asking questions and i was wondering if there are any family groups in the Edinburgh area who meet up and talk about their bereavement.
thanks.

Hi, I am sorry to hear of your sad loss. I don't know any particular group in Edinburgh, but I have a telephone buddy through an organisation called "A Different Journey". They may have a network in Edinburgh.
Take a look at their website to see if this could be right for you.
I lost my father from cancer many many years ago when I was just 12. My advice is that it is just important to talk about your wife, their mother to your children. Talk about her with love. Remember times together. Tell them stories about you two together before they came along. Be as honest as you can with their questions. Let them cry. Let them see you cry. Cry together. But remember to laugh together. Remember to remember together.
I don't know if there is anything specific to Edinburgh, but you could try this link - its the Cancer Research site "Support for children whose parents have cancer" and has some links to support groups etc. soecifically for children.
