Hello all. I lost my darling wife on Sunday. She was 59, we had been together just 7 years. The only blessing I have is that I told her I loved her. It was an emergency operation and I kissed her and held her hand whilst she slipped away. I have support at present with my daughter and her partner and the neighbours are great. I have had nastiness from her estranged son and wife, and I know that hasn't gone away. I know its soon, but I just want to talk to people and understand what to do, share experiences and have support when people return to normal life and the house falls silent.
