Lovely for him to go that way, but a shock for you. Take care.

So sad for you and your family MOnica the comforting thing is, he was with his loved ones after a good day, in the place he loved, I think we'd all like to go that way. Bless you all flowers

Oh Monica, such a shock for you and your family. I hope you can in time take comfort in knowing he had had a lovely day in a beautiful part of the world that meant so much to you. I know I would like to go that way.

So sorry to hear that, my condolences to you.

Monica I am please to read your update and that your husband was in his ‘ happy place’ and having a great day before he had a major heart attack and that s all any of us want. However such a shock for you, do look after yourself you are I m sure a stoic woman and will manage but allow yourself to be sad and accept support from family and friends as much as you need, remember it helps the giver as much as the receiver
Peaceful thoughts go to you x

You are so brave MOnica.

Thank you all for your kind wishes, I truly appreciate them.

However, as you will have discovered, 'normal service is being resumed', which I think is the best way to cope in my new circumstances.

I admire your spirit M0nica
