My husband has just passed on 24 July 2024 and I really don’t know how I am going to cope without him. I loved him for nearly 60 years, he has been the love of my life. I am absolutely heart-broken and can’t stop crying.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You were blessed with sixty years and the pain must be unbearable just now. Do you have family or friends to support you?
I have a daughter and a son who have been wonderful but they need to get on with their busy, full lives. This is the first day I have been on my own since the 24 July and I am finding it so painful. I think I have been trying to not cry in front of everyone and now that I’m on my own, I can’t stop. Everyone says we were blessed with nearly 60 years, it is the last 6-8 months that have been so awful - watching my darling husband struggle to do anything, having to do everything for him which I wouldn’t have changed but it was so frustrating for him. I loved him so much, I am really struggling.

So sorry. It feels like you have been cut in half. Everyone here understands your pain. Keep posting and reading other posts, especially from those further on in this horrible journey.
It’s 13 weeks since my husband had a cardiac arrest. Xx
Thank you so much for understanding the pain. I will read some of the posts and I will keep posting. I am so sorry for your loss of your husband from a cardiac arrest, it must have been such a shock. Even though my husband was so ill, it was still a shock when he went, it was so quick. x
Oh @Missmylove it is so heartbreaking when you lose your loved one. We all understand how hard it is to keep trying to get through each day.
You are not alone in this, so please keep posting and reading here if it helps.
I also looked after my husband as his body declined and the trauma from that is another added challenge for us grievers.
Be kind to yourself and take all the support that is offered.
Sending love and strength xx

Thank you. It certainly was a shock. He was fit and well. We went to bed and he fell asleep, then it happened.
I don’t think it is better or worse for any of us, unexpected, expected, old or young, kids or no kids, married or not. It is awful for everyone. Xx

I feel for you and totally understand how you are feeling. My darling husband of 53 years died on 6th July and it was totally unexpected. Every day I just want to stay in bed but I force myself to move! I have kids and grandkids who all have each other and now I’m not the most important person in anyone’s life anymore. My husband was my life for 55 years. Grief is so painful in every sense of the word. My family are trying their very best to help me navigate my new life and my husband would want me to carry on but it’s very difficult. We are all in this dreadful situation together and my heart goes out to each and every one of you.X

My condolences and I know what you are going through, the pain is unbearable and there are no words. People on here are really supportive.
So sorry to hear about your husband. Sending love and hugs, just take one day at a time as some days will be better than others, we all know how you feel, keep posting on here as its such a great help and support x take care xx
I thought yesterday was a bad day but today turned out to be just as bad. I seem to be crying at just about anything - nothing sometimes. I have also found myself with a cold, sore throat and a dreadful cough which has not happened for some time. I never seemed to have time to be ill as I was constantly nursing my husband. Now I feel absolutely shattered.
Physical symptoms of grief are absolutely normal as probably most of us have all different feelings going on throughout our bodies and minds. I have MS which has taken a nosedive since Paul died and my MS nurse has been helping me to cope. I’m finding digestive problems the worst with constant nausea but not actually being sick. Anyway we all have problems to cope with besides losing our loved ones and still life goes on! Take care all. X
