Guilt?

My husband, father to our 7 year old, business partner and best friend, my soul mate, gone suddenly early August
I keep wondering if I could have done more, acted differently, seen the signs sooner, if I ignored him and was too busy with work or child or too tired and missed something. It was so unexpected, so sudden. We had a bad few days before, just usual life stresses. I regret it, feel guilty, ask for forgiveness. I feel like I lost more than 1 person and am so alone. No one to make me laugh with silly and rude northern humour.

I’m so sorry you find yourself here @hary - it’s such early days for you everything will be very raw and overwhelming.
Try not to go over the past - it can’t be changed and I’m sure you did the best you could in difficult circumstances. None of us is prepared for losing our loved ones when it happens so we just go on as normal without the knowledge of what’s to happen.
Just take things one step at a time - be kind to yourself and shake that guilt off when ever you need to.
Take care xx
