I told someone off at work the other day. They were moaning about their wife. I told him to be grateful that he’s still got one.

I am really sorry for your loss, I did try to resuscitate Mark, but I knew in my heart that it was too late, but I feel so much guilt for not being with him when it happened, was he scared, I will never know the answer, I pray that he didn’t suffer, and that it was a peaceful passing .
Sending my love to you xx

I am so sorry that you lost your husband and are on this site. I lost my husband 2 years ago unexpectedly and suddenly. He was 53 years old. I got a phone call from our son to say that my husband had collapsed and was sitting up. Time I got home he had died, I did CPR on him as no ambulance yet. The paramedics arrived and worked on my husband for 45 mins. My husband had died from a large saddle pulmonary embolism and kidney cancer which was a shock as he was working the day before, we didn’t know that he had cancer.
You will be in shock and numb, I was diagnosed with PTSD. The first year I can’t really remember much, this second year seemed harder as the reality is starting to kick in however I can function much better and the waves don’t long as long. I still get triggers and see life as so cruel and unfair that my husband had to die and you get horrible people walking round. I keep myself busy and have been away with a group of people that I have met on here a few times which has been a life saver.
Take one day at a time and don’t look into the future as we can’t control the future like we couldn’t control the past. I see grief as a constant companion, one day she is gentle with you and other days she comes to you like a roaring volcano. Take care and big hugs xx

Thank you so much for your kind words, and I am very sorry for your loss.
I am glad things are a little bit easier for you now, like you say, I am in shock at the moment, just trying to survive each day, but hurting so much.
It all seems so surreal, I just cannot believe that just over two months ago we were away on holiday, now I am without him and scared, I miss him every moment, the house is just not the same any more.
I’m afraid that I relied on him so much, now its a stark reminder of everything he did for us, I am overwhelmed by it all.
Many thanks for the advice, I send you my love xx

Thank you for your reply…yes you will be scared as you have got a new life which you didn’t ask for. Life is so unfair and cruel. We had just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We all have got a journey without a destination. I keep myself busy filling my time to get through as I miss my husband terribly and the future we should have had. Definitely been robbed. My son is in his early twenties so I can’t do anything silly as he has suffered enough. You are doing the right thing by reaching out here as people get it. Scream when you want, cry and keep talking baby steps. Lots of love Xx

So sorry for the loss .iknow it is hard same as you go out with sister in laws. And then come home to an empty house it is horrible. I am still not used to it even after 5 months. Xxx

Been to my 2nd grief counselling session this morning, I did some more talking and crying. I don’t know if its helping as still feel the same, she told me its understandable as its only been 15 weeks.
Now I’m feeling just the same as before I went. Ive made an appointment to see our GP again see if he can help me.
