I got married on the 23rd may 2024 it was fantastic . Me and my wife went to cornwall for a honeymoon on the 6th july on the last day she got a migraine on return home she went to the hospital and was put on an ecg and had bloods taken . The duty doctor stated he was going to scan her but never did. She was given pain relief and sent home. On thursday the 18th july i found her gone at home .i attempted cpr but new she had gone already. I cant get my head around the situation and even though i have family its a very lonley upsetting time

Oh Simon, that is awful. I am so very sorry. Life is very cruel.
I hope you find some comfort here. Everyone understands, we have all got different stories and circumstances, but there is always someone here to offer love and support.
Sending a hug.

Hi Simon, what an awful time you have had, so sorry for your loss. Take whatever support is offered and take each day at a time. I lost my husband suddenly 3 months ago and I am starting to feel better some days, others I don’t.we all grieve so differently and that makes grief worse and harder to understand . So just do what you want to do and take care of yourself x

Thank you all for your kind words my wife was only 42 its hard to realise how fast your life can change in an instant less than 60 days married . Ive witnessed alot of horrible things in my life but nothing compares to trying to save a loved one your all special people helping strangers even though you deal with your own loss thank you

I hope the pain eases does anyone else just lock there self away at home . All i seem to do is work and stay at home i also hate putting on friends and family due to them having there own life and issues
My wife of 55 yrs sadly passed away in April of this year,I was (and still am) devastated by my loss,I do find it strangely calming to be in the home we built and surrounded by things we shared,yes the loneliness and climbing into an empty bed is hard,but I am slowly learning to drag myself out of the grief swamp,I hope you can find some peace and comfort too.

I have 3 grown up daughters and 2 grandchildren, and we have all pulled together. I have always lived in the same area and have a wide social network through my work before I retired and have lots of family around . I have always tried to be kind and help others, so I think it’s like I paid into the bank of kindness for my first 60 years and am now making large withdrawals! For example one of my lovely friends left some homemade soup in our porch today (as I have covid!) My husband was 61, but apparently fit and healthy and collapsed and died instantly in the street as he walked to his volunteering job. We had so many plans for our retirement which we had worked so hard to retire early. We had 5 holidays booked! My life has changed so much, but I feel I owe it to his memory to put my big girls pants on and live my life without him. I should say we had been together since we were both teenagers, so he was my one and only true love x

Hi Simon, so sorry for your loss. This site is full of people who truly understand what you are going through and how you are feeling. Whilst we may all grieve in our own ways, there are some common ‘symptoms’ and there will undoubtedly be someone here who can relate to you and your situation. It’s a club none of us wanted to join. My husband was my soulmate and my very best friend, we were together for 39 years and he passed away in April this year. I miss him more than I can express but I also recognise that I am just a little bit better every day… sending hugs, Jo
