Hi @Missypeet I’m so sorry you have lost your husband so recently. Yes, it truly is devastating how painful an experience it is, I was totally taken by surprise at how much it hurt compared to the loss of my beloved Dad, which I had thought as bad as it got.
I hope you will find the support you need on here. At least you are amongst people who do understand this level of loss. My husband died suddenly last April and the shock was so overwhelming it took a long time to accept it was real and not some terrible nightmare I’d wake from. To me, the acceptance was my first step to trying to make a life for myself and my daughters. I knew that unless I accepted that no amount of wishing or praying or disbelief could change what had happened, I could not begin to do anything else. I also made a point of trying to not allow the ‘what if’s and ‘if only’s in.
It is a seemingly impossible future to begin with so be kind to yourself and take it very slowly, allowing as much time as you need to think, cry, scream, shout or do whatever you need to.
Keep posting and you’ll find plenty of support here.
Sending love.
