My darling husband

[Stickygloop]

He’s had a stroke following a number of open heart surgeries to repair and replace his heart valves. I can’t breathe, I overheard them say terminal stroke. I love him so much.

@Stickygloop people care, those on the train will care

I wish I had the words to make this terrible situation a mite easier. I don't - but continue in the knowledge that I wish I did.

I’m so very sorry @Stickygloop If it helps at all, my DS lost his DF at 13, almost 14 and his grace & resilience was astonishing. Unfortunately, his behaviour was so mature that it wasn’t until much later that I realised that he needed some bereavement counselling. I would strongly advise that your youngest two get some bereavement support as soon as possible no matter how strong or well-adjusted they seem. School will probably be able to help (unfortunately they will have lots of experience) and organisations like Grief Encounter, Cruse & Child Bereavement UK. It’s also worth mentioning that the anniversary coincided with exams so he was allowed a separate space for his A levels. Big hug!

My heart goes out to you and your lovely DH. I so hope he is comfortable and that this terrible shock to you and your DC will somehow give way to peace and calm for you soon. Thinking of you and saying prayer for you all. 🌺

I'm so sorry you aren't near him right now. 💔

I should also add that during the organ donation discussions, my DS made the most incredible salient points while everyone else was crumbling and couldn’t think straight. He led those decisions and even now he says he would have hated to not be included. It does help to know that the passing of your loved one is not futile.

I’ve nothing of any substance to say. I’m just so terribly sorry. Thinking of you and your children xx

Oh my he’s so young to have this happen. I’m sorry I can’t be of any help other than to say I’m thinking of you and your children xx

Me too, I feel so torn. I wanted to run away to my children but also climb into bed next to him xxx

I’m so sorry, what a terrible weight to bear at the moment. I hope your family find some comfort together. Your husband is so young x

I'm very sorry for what you are going through. Sending you love and strength 💐

I‘m deeply sorry to read this, @Stickygloop 💐

I’m so sorry 💕💐

You are operating in a shocked state that will keep you going. He is so young, hope you can get , even a little just you two time, so so sorry

I’m so sorry this is happening to him, to you and your children. It’s very unfair. Your love for him jumps out at me and so I hope it’s a small comfort to you to know that he knows he is so loved. I’ll be thinking of you all ❤️

I'm so sorry, so young 😢

I’m very sorry you’re experiencing this as a family,and as a wife.what a shock for you all
Take care of yourself at this difficult time.

I am so sorry @Stickygloop, wishing you the strength you need and sending you love

If I was on your train i’d come and give you a hug. I’m so very sorry to hear about your beloved husband, so unfair.

I’m sorry 😔 💔 Please OP, go be with him. You’ll regret it eternally if you don’t. Thinking of you and your family 🩵

I can't find words except to say that you and your family are in my thoughts x

Oh Love, what an awful situation. Don't give a thought to what anyone on the train thinks about you crying. You have every right to cry as much as you need to. I would come and sit beside you if I could.

Big hugs OP!

Ive just seen you’ve updated with his age & cannot believe it. I know people in their 70s and one person in their 80s who went through the same op and fully recovered. For that to happen at 48 is extremely cruel!

Im so sorry you have to tell your children this devastating news.

not sure if you’re religious at all but sending love and prayers ❤️

I’m so sorry xxx
