My dh died this afternoon. Please hold my hand through this.

[DeadZed]

We have four distraught dc. the police are still here. I don't know what to say to people. I don't know what to ask when they offer to help.

I'm so so sorry xxx

I'm so sorry... No other words, but here's a hand to hold x

I'm so sorry. Do you have any family members that can come and sit with you?

So sorry for your loss. What happened? Don't answer that if you don't want to.

I would say when people offer to help, give them something to do that will be useful. How old are the DC? Will you need child care while you sort out essential things? Food made for you will help.

I’m so sorry xx

I'm so sorry for your loss. Don't worry about other people. Please look after yourself and the children. Do you have family with you?

How old are your children? I'm so so sorry. You can do this but you won't know that yet

I'm so sorry to hear this op, thinking of you and sending love and hugs x 

Oh, Dead, I’m so sorry. I cannot imagine to begin what you’re going through.

Is there anyone that can handle the enquiries and other people for a while?

Do you have anyone there to support you?

I’m so very sorry, you have my hand also x

I’m so sorry.

I'm so very sorry, you and your children are in my thoughts. Do you have family who can come and sit with you?

I am so very sorry, what a horrible time for you. My best friend lost her husband in an accident, she also struggled with knowing what help to ask for, but in the end her mum and I just went and spent time with her. If you have someone close who knows you all well maybe ask the police to call them for you to see if they can come over in a little while? What you do at this stage really doesn't matter at all, but you will have to be there for the children so have someone who can be there for you.

I'm very sorry, you and your family are in my thoughts.

OMG! I'm so sorry! Hope you've got family and friends to rally round!

Can't imagine how shocked you must be. Just sending you a gentle arm around your shoulders x

So very sorry for your loss op, how devastating :(

Use this thread as and when you need to, it will be a good place to let it all out as I imagine you're trying to be strong for the dc.

Sending you love and prayers xx

I’m so sorry. Another hand to hold. If you are able to have anyone to help, with cups of tea, dishwasher, answering the phone/door or looking up any information for you then it might be helpful to accept. Even if you just ask them to stand by and do things that come to hand.
Again, I’m so sorry. X

Nice Endeavour real nice.

So sorry about your DH op

I'm so sorry, also here offering a hand to hold.
I'm sure you may need some practical help in the coming weeks with others helping out with the children, or sitting with them whilst you have other things to do. Just tell people that you will call on them when you need them. I'm sure people will want to help you and will be more than happy to chip in and offer support.

I am so sorry.
