To resent MN's whinging about DH's over minor things

[Redsrule]

In the early hours of Sunday 23/1 my husband died suddenly of heart failure. We had been together since uni and had 4 DC. He was loving and usually great but like all people had his moments of being a complete twat. I often think MN's moan too much but just remember life is precious and give your DHs a hug because one day you might feel like me wishing I hadn't wasted Saturday on everybody else but him.

Thank you all, I just can't get over how unjust it is. On the Thursday before I heard that my breast cancer, I had been fighting it since May 2010, had not returned. We had a lovely lunch to celebrate and were so happy planning a holiday. Then on Saturday I was so busy with the kids, shopping, aged parents etc I virtually ignored him. 'What if' are the saddest words ever, please just remember this.

So sorry for your loss.

so sorry for your loss

Redsrule I'm so sorry for your loss :(

Your words have stopped me in my tracks - as I opened the post I was cursing DH in my head and wondering why I've felt more stressed with him here this morning than I have looking after two under-ones all week.

Now I want him to come home from the shops with DD so that he can get back under my feet where he belongs.

Thinking of you and your DCs.

Redsrule I am so very sorry for the loss of your lovely DH

I hope you and your DC and family can be there for each other and pull each other through such a lonely and awfully sad time.

You are right of course. We all do take for granted what we have and we never realise until it's gone how good it was when we had it.

I shall be extra nice to DP and DC's today.

Thinking of you all.

Trinity That was so lovely of you to post. So, so sad and the way you have written it exactly as it happened has made me blub like a baby. I'm so glad you have some happiness back in your life again. Proof that it will happen, it may take time but it will come.

I am so sorry, redsrule, for your loss. I am sitting here with tears in my eyes reading this thread. I was ready to post that you were being unreasonable when I saw the title, but on reading your OP I will take it all back. I love my DH, he does annoy me, but can't imagine life without him. I am wishing you strengh.
My brother died on the day I found out I was pregnant with my first child, so I can understand the feeling that life is cruel, taking away with one hand what it gives with the other.
