My husband died on the 30th of April, he was 62 and I'm 56. We'd been married 28 years and I love him with all my heart. His name is David and he had been admitted to hospital 10 days before he died. His illness came out of the blue. We have 5 children and 9 grandchildren and we're numb. David's funeral is next Tuesday. I'm numb, I wasn't ready!

Dear Kate - you have joined the Club, none of us wanted to join. Like Grammaretto’s DH, mine too had cancer, but he died very unexpectedly in March.
I still expect him to walk in the door after a day’s fishing asking what’s for dinner.
There isn’t a textbook response to bereavement - we are all different. Welcome to GN, I hope you get some comfort from the supportive comments and I find reading the Good Morning thread is a good start to my day. ?

So very sorry for your loss. My lovely DH died three years ago, but somehow you get through each day; you learn to deal with it.

Commiserations to you for the loss of your husband and that your life together has been cut short you are still quite young.

Heartening to see you have many children and grandchildren and hopefully they will be around to support you through this difficult and give you strength.

So sorry for your loss and to any other poster who has also lost a loved one recently flowers

I’m so sorry, Kate8. ?

Luckygirl Sun 30-May-21 08:57:12

So very sad...I am so sorry that you have lost your husband.

Mine died in February last year and moments of disbelief still drop on me out of the blue. I don't think that goes quickly - at least not for me.

I too am lucky to have a loving family around me - lean on them and take one day at a time.

so sorry flowers

Grammaretto Sun 30-May-21 08:37:32

Dear Kate. It is a shock indeed.
I hope you have family and friends around to support you.

My DH died 6 months ago and although it wasn't unexpected; he had cancer, it is still a shock when it happens.
I appear to be coping but I miss him every day.

Sending you love and hugs.
BTW people on here have been an amazing support to me.

Thank goodness you have your lovely children and grandchildren in your life, although they all must be suffering too.

I have no advice, but keep posting here whenever you feel the need, as someone will always reply, even in the middle of the night! flowers
