My darling husband died suddenly and unexpectedly. On  28th May he suffered a massive heart attack beside me whilst watching TV.  Paramedics worked on him for over an hour and then transferred him to hospital. The following evening we had to turn off his life support. We were married just short of 52 years and I can't describe the total despair I feel. The shock and the grief are so totally overwhelming. I miss him SO much. I try to keep busy but find myself in floods of tears much of the time.. I have always been the 'strong' one in my family, supporting my parents when we lost my 16 year old brother in an accident. I sat all night with my father until he passed away. However, I feel totally out of control now and cannot see any light at the end of this tunnel.

It must have been such a shock to lose your husband that way, so suddenly. We have many members who understand the experience of losing their partner
Have to take little baby steps, one day at a time, even one hour at a time on a bad day  xx

Welcome to the forum. So sorry to hear of your loss.

The despair is truly indescribeable. I don't think any words could prepare someone for what hey will face when hey lose a life partner. We can try but the reality is always much worse.

Wishing you strength.

Thank you so much for your kindness. I am really struggling, but it's wonderful to know that there are people also suffering the pain of their own losses, who are willing to comfort others.
My friends are lovely, but all either still have their partners, or are single by choice, and haven't had this devastating experience. Bless you all.

I llost my partner suddenly after being together 51 years, so i can understand the despair, pain and loneliness that you are feeling, it is still early days for you hun, you can only take it a day at a time each day is different, people say keep going it will get better, but in my experience you get better from an illness, but grief isnt an illness, so theres no getting better from that, but what you do is adjust and life starts to get easier and we learn to cope with our loss, but please keep posting to us on here im sure you will fibd some small comfort from knowing you arent alone xxxx

Hello- I lost my hubby in May this year. I'm experiencing all you are going through too, can't even see the blooming tunnel some days never mind the light at the end of it! I have had some 'better' days so I know they are possible but the biggest help is having somewhere like here to ask things, vent, try and support, so I hope you find that help too X
