I lost my husband of 44 years on the 6th August this year, we were childhood sweethearts and met in 1977, it was unexpected and a traumatic ending for me and my family, even the doctors were shocked he died, but he had been through so much during this time, i think he just gave up, i cannot stop reliving everything that happened from start to finish during these 17 days prior to his death, is this normal, will it pass?

Hi Bluebell, I’m sorry. Your story is very similar to mine. My husband and I met in 1978, married in 1981 together 46 years. He died April 16 this year. He was going through the cancer treatments when it took a rapid turn for the worst. One day chatting with friends who came to visit, then two days later incoherent and passed suddenly. The doctors to were shocked. There’s more to it concerning treatments but I won’t go into it.
I’m in still in disbelief. We were bonded in every way imaginable, what a horrible nightmare we’re in. I miss him beyond comprehension. Take care and know my heart is with you as you try and cope with this difficult reality. Pam

Thankyou, how are you coping now, has it got any easier, I cant believe he is gone as well, its like I have lost a limb, am trying to keep busy so I don’t have to think too much…but we all have to carry on and accept our new reality, but at least we can chat with with others who have gone through the same, am here anytime you need to chat…x
I’m going through the motions of living how ever difficult it’s been. Some days I feel like there’s a ray of sunshine, other days complete darkness. Our brains are trying desperately to rewire, it’s going to take time. We will always grieve for our loss, learning to carry it I suppose. 6 months flew by in a fog. Not looking forward to the upcoming holidays. I put up a few Halloween decorations for the littlest grandchild. My husband always decorated the front porch. Missing him is unbearable. Take care
