Grief and anger

I lost my husband very suddenly almost a year ago . Whilst coping with the feeling of sadness and loss I can’t shake the feeling of anger that surround the cause of his death .
He had a few health problems and for these reasons he was encouraged to have regular vaccinations. On the day before he died he was feeling great and we’d made plans to have a day at the coast the following day . He then went to the chemist for his Covid jab and they also gave him the flu jab , which I’d asked him not to have at the same time as I’d heard it’s better to wait a week between jabs but the greedy pharmacist had other ideas . Within a few hours he became very unwell and died in my arms the next day .

I’m not an anti vaxer but I just think it’s too much for someone who already has health problems to tolerate together

Thats awful ,bet you can’t get those last moments out of you head,I know I can’t,but at least I had 3days holding his hand before he died .can imagine your situation to be much worse . :sleepy:

My husband and I had both together last year with no ill effects apart from 2 sore arms. Have received notification from the GP that that’s what they will be doing this year. Xx

Yes, we had both at same time, as did my whole family, both sets of parents in their 70s and 80s, felt rough but nothing else.

Just must have been incredibly unlucky. You never know but just having one at a time might have made no difference if it was one that caused the problem. Or it could have had nothing to do with the vaccines. I presume you do know what did cause his death?

Thank you. It was a terrible shock. I know lots of people who had both together without any issues but I also know people who immediately became unwell, too many for there not to be a link .

This is traumatising. I’m so sorry. :broken_heart: My partner had an accident on a Mountain with his beloved little boy, His beagle. I lost them both. I’ll never forget him leaving my house that morning to go on his adventure, smiling, happy, we were going to Wales the following weekend, instead, that weekend, I was in a police office being told they had both been found together and they had both passed away, after a 3 day long search, they were gone. I’ll never forget walking into the room to see him, I was filled with odd mixed emotions, I’d got him down off the Mountain but he wasn’t really there anymore. I held him for as long I could, I just didn’t want to let go of him, even though I knew he was gone. I think when they’re taken from us suddenly, our brain just cannot process it. I can’t. I’ll never understand it. I replay our last moments in my head together and I just cannot believe I’ll never get to see him again. Sending you lots of love. Xx

The actual cause of death was a heart attack and I know that could have happened anytime but I can’t shake the feeling that there’s a connection

Oh right … i see … yeh im not suprised you feel theres a connection ? !!! Xxx

Dogs are amazing, without my dog ,I don’t think I’d cope as well as I do . He’s been by my side ever since. On the night my husband died he laid with his head on his body until the undertaker took him away x

Animals do seem to be a great comfort. I really miss my cats but wouldn’t be able to look after one now,

Life moves on and things change . I’ve recently found out that our daughter is having a baby and I’m so excited but so sad that the baby will never know it’s granddad and he will be missing out on being a granddad to this baby
