I think my Husband is dying

Hi

DH had a planned surgery on Thursday which went wrong; he had a catastrophic bleed which lead to his chest being opened and a long time to stabilise. He's on full life support but they are very, very concerned that he has few signs of brain activity.

He's in a good hospital with an amazing team around him, we didn't expect him to last over Thursday night and they've kept him going but I am slowly realising that I think he's gone.

Fuck. What do I do without him? We have an 11 yo DD who is awesome and friends but I feel so alone. So much panic.

Sorry for unloading, just feels incredibly surreal.

Very sorry for your loss 💐

So sorry Thanks

The child bereavement network has information that might be useful over the next few days and there's charities across the U.K. that can offer you and your dd in person support if/when you are wanting it. I work in this field - thinking of you at this difficult time

I'm so sorry for the pain you are all going through. You, your daughter and your in laws.

It may be too early right now but could I suggest maybe creating a memory box for you and your daughter.

It can be a comfort once the rawness of everything starts to subside. And also something you and your daughter can use to grieve together, so that you can share all your stories, memories.
Maybe a bottle of his aftershave. It's all the supposedly little things that I found I missed.
Sending you all my prayers.
