My 28 year old husband passed and I don’t know how to cope

My husband who was only 28 died in his sleep. He looked so beautiful and peaceful but my heart is broken. How will I go on and live the rest of my life without him. I’m tired. He died on the 17th of December and I have left my house, my neighbourhood, everything cause I can’t cope. I have a 1 year old and just don’t know what to do anymore. It was so sudden so it’s just like I’m in a nightmare

I’m so sorry for your loss :frowning: I’m finding it so hard with just my one year old, I can’t imagine what you’re going through with your three children. Yes I’ve moved back to Canada for a little bit to be with my family. Being in the UK was too hard his memory is too strong there. What have you been doing to cope? This is so hard :frowning:

@Aiza I am so sorry to hear your sad news and my thoughts are with you. I lost my partner suddenly 7 weeks ago to the hour more or less. I am currently clock watching, my Wednesday trait, reliving the nightmare of that evening. I can only imagine your heartbreak.

My partner was only 47 when he past, so I feel for you so much with yours only being 28. It is such a cruel world we live in sometimes. I only hope being back home with family is bringing you the tiniest bit of comfort albeit I appreciate it may not be much.

My thoughts and best wishes at this difficult time are with you.

@Aizaskhan oh have you? in glad your with people!!
i really don’t know and if im totally honest i dont think anything helps to cope? im just trying to get through the days, i am back in work which is hard as my jobs extremely challenging and now i worry i will be the person like i support in a few years… i do try and think how shaun would want me to keep going and be happy but right now it’s impossible xx

I’m so sorry for your loss.
I have no advice but can give solidarity. I lost my husband last week at the age of 32. I also have a 1 year old, and find it so hard having to put on a brave face and act ok every day for him. He doesn’t sleep well and comes into bed every night with me so I feel like I don’t even have time to grieve. On the other hand I feel like he’s a blessing as he gives me another focus and makes me carry on going for him.

I’m so sorry for your loss I lost my son suddenly last week he was 47 and passed in his sleep I can’t imagine how hard it is for you to still have to care for your 1 year old you still have part of your husband there in your child I think the only way is just take it a day at a time that’s all I can think to do
