Hello Louise 04, I too lost my husband suddenly, with no warning, in May. We were just chatting, in bed, one Saturday morning when he died from a heart attack almost instantaneously. He didn’t even cry out. I miss him so much. We met 50 years ago and were married for over 45 years. He’d had a busy week and was looking forward to his first sail of the season on the day he died. We’d had a lovely day out together, the previous day and he looks so well in photo’s taken on our final afternoon together. He was relaxed and happy. We spent the day in Salisbury which is where we had spent our first weekend together in 1974 during which we went to a service in the cathedral. On our final day together, 50 years later, we again went to a service in the cathedral. I believe there is more to life and death than we can understand which gives me hope.

So sorry your person has died. It truly is horrific and its a hard journey. I think the process of grief has taught me that, it never goes away. Sometimes are easier than others but nothing will ever be the same. However, that doesn’t mean you wont find a life that you settle into, for now.
Over time thoughts and feelings change, times are good and bad. The process has no rule book, we are all different and our people and stories unique.
There are many feeling to process too, guilt, resentment, anger etc its all ongoing.
It will be 2 years in January, since i lost my seemingly fit husband of 49 years old, suddenly and unexpectedly. Its been hard.
Currently, im in a good place, accepting life as it is, seeing the benefits and appreciating that i didn’t kill myself and I chose to live, even in the hardest moments. Life Is what it is and at the moment all is good xx
