I know there may be more specific sites to put this thread but I can't bring myself to go there
DH is in hospital with Leukaemia- and for the past few weeks has had a chest infection
Now he has 2 chest infections
I have been visiting x2 a day but not since Thursday as I got Covid (for the first time)
The Macmillan nurse has just rung asking me to do a test as the Dr wants to have an conversation' and it might be easier if I am there
Of course I am still testing positive
I tried to get details out of her but all she would say is that it is a serious conversation
Dr is due to ring me soon
I feel sick with nerves and so guilty that I am not there
He is 49
I really need a hand hold

Heartbreaking. I'm so very sorry. It sounds like you and your DH had a very special relationship.

I hope you get lots of love and support in the next few weeks and months. Sending love ❤️.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 06/10/2022 09:07

Oh I'm so sorry. But glad you were with him when he passed. Well, 'glad' is the wrong word but I don't know the right one. Sending much love.

Reallybadidea · 06/10/2022 09:08

I'm so sorry. How utterly shocking for you all. So glad that you could be with him though.

DCINightingale · 06/10/2022 09:08

So sorry OP. Lots of love and hugs to you.

sunflower25049 · 06/10/2022 09:09

I am so so so sorry for your loss OP. Reading through your messages absolutely broke my heart but the bond you had and will continue to have is so clear ❤️

Someone once said to me after losing someone close, if I could take the pain away but I'd have to take all of your memories away too what would you say? Of course the answer would be no. The heart ache we feel is only so strong because of the love you share. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts ❤️❤️❤️

I’m so sorry you didn’t get more time together. When you’re up to it, I’ve found Widowed and Young a huge support.

My3dahliasarebloominlovely · 06/10/2022 09:16

I'm so, so sorry. Holding your hand and hugging for the days to come

eosmum · 06/10/2022 09:17

I'm so sorry, my heart is just broken for you.

EnjoythemoneyJane · 06/10/2022 09:19

I’m so very, very sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had a wonderful, happy life together, filled with love, and his passing was peaceful with you right there beside him. Nothing will make it easier for you, I know, but I hope you can find a little bit of comfort in that. Sending you love and thinking of you today x

fruitbrewhaha · 06/10/2022 09:20

Oh no, I'm so sorry. Thinking of you x

Barney60 · 06/10/2022 09:21

Mumofspud, understand where you're at, been there.
MOST important you take care of you right now; you will be no help to husband if you don't.
Difficult few months ahead i really feel for you. You must seek help from others around you, don't do what i did and try and do everything yourself.
Hugest of hugs and hand holds sent.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 06/10/2022 09:23

My goodness, what a shock for those he's left behind. I'm so glad you were with him, he will have taken great comfort from that.

I'm so so sorry - take care of yourself Flowers

I am so sorry for your loss.

lifeturnsonadime · 06/10/2022 09:32

OP I am so sorry.

What a shock this week has been. I know you have a child the same age as mine as I've seen you on other threads.

I hope you can find some peace in knowing that DH's passing was peaceful and on his terms.

Take good care of yourself over the coming days and months.
