My husband died suddenly just over 6 weeks ago, i'm broken

Losing a partner

I’m afraid to say, that there aren’t any words that can help.
BUT: For me (6 months in) I made a point of writing some positive points (about 15) and I read these and focus on 1 or 2 to get through each hour, day when it is worse than usual. The first two are:

  1. I was with the most beautiful, strongest, loveliest girl on the planet from our teens, and who loved me as much as I adored her. Few people actually have this in their lives, ever; so I was so lucky.
  2. Having protected, cared for, my darling Sharon since she was in her teens - it is better that I deal with this World of loss, torture and pain, rather than my beautiful girl to have tried to have coped.
    There are other thoughts, but I hope this - and the concept - helps you…

Thank you Dennis it helps a great deal . As you know there is loads of admin type stuff to work through so I resolve to complete two big things a day and so far have managed to get through stuff this way.
It just shows us to take nothing fir granted doesn’t it x
