My husband has died

So numb, don't believe it. He was my rock.
I have support, but they are not here now, and I know they have lives and are dealing with their own grief. Just want to indulge in some self pity I think...

Oh gosh. So sorry.
Was it sudden?
Hugs 🤗

blueskypink · 25/11/2017 22:04

So sorry for your loss. Do you want to tell us what happened?

10kToBe · 25/11/2017 22:04

It’s not self pity. Post as much as you like - would you like to tell us a little about him? There is always someone here, night and day, to talk. Sending you a bloody big hug from Leeds xx

Olicity17 · 25/11/2017 22:04

I am so sorry.

DeathByMascara · 25/11/2017 22:04

How awful for you. I’m truly sorry for your loss.

Would you like to tell us about him?

Neolara · 25/11/2017 22:04

I'm so sorry. How utterly devastating for you.

I’m so sorry for your devastating loss, we are all here with tea, gin, chat and a listening ear

choccybiscuit · 25/11/2017 22:06

Oh gosh, you poor thing.

Apileofballyhoo · 25/11/2017 22:06

I'm so sorry, Darnley. Was it suddenly?

user1487671808 · 25/11/2017 22:07

I’m so sorry, we’re listening if you want to talk about him.

Unescorted · 25/11/2017 22:07

So sorry. You don't need to apologise for wanting sympathy.

roobrr · 25/11/2017 22:07

I'm so sorry

DramaAlpaca · 25/11/2017 22:08

I'm so sorry for your loss

Darnley · 25/11/2017 22:09

He was a big man, big heart, which let him down, funny, kind, generous, a pain in the arse and had been known to be a spoony fucker. We laughed a lot.
I have loads of really good support and know I am lucky, but they are not here now. I miss him and it's only a couple of days.

So very sorry for your loss Darnley.

Betarocker · 25/11/2017 22:12

So deeply sorry for your loss from a fellow widow. WAY (widowed and young) is a wonderfully supportive online group if you need to talk people who understand. Take care x

Darnley · 25/11/2017 22:13

Thank you. He has left a massive gap in many lives, not least mine.

SJM72 · 25/11/2017 22:15

That really is terrible. Please, tell us a little about this wonderful guy.

Apileofballyhoo · 25/11/2017 22:15

Of course you miss him. It's natural. All of your grief is natural, and your grief is unique to you. You are the only person whose husband he was. It's terrible for you. I know people sometimes think they should be brave, but you need to mourn and cry too.

sandgrown · 25/11/2017 22:15

So sorry for your loss

BakedBeans47 · 25/11/2017 22:16

So sorry Darnley x
