Dad ... thank you for sharing your thoughts with us this way and for pointing out some essential truths about life that we can so easily forget.
I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but I'd like to share with you some of my dad's last thoughts - he was taken by brain cancer.
As much as he hated the idea of leaving us (mom and 7 kids) and as much as he was not ready to go ... he said that he was so comforted by the knowledge that he had a legacy ... that he had a loving family that would remember him ... and most importantly, that he would never have to go through the loss of a wife or child which would have been so much harder for him than leaving himself.
I hope your kids' mom will find some peace and comfort in her situation, and in so doing perhaps share some peace and comfort to you and the kids; it sounds like she will be well supported in such a trying time.
All the best.
