My world feels over

[annielouisa]

My lovely husband died suddenly yesterday. No illness, no warning, just gone. I feel numb and confused l just do not know what to do.

I hope the day goes well, annielouisa.

Wonderful send off for my lovely man. My DC and DGD1 and 2 and my DGS1 did him proud with the eulogy and poems and DGS1 helped carry him. The strength of the love and respect for him filled the whole place. He would have been proud of how everyone pulled together.

What a comfort for you all. It's something you'll cherish for ever.

He sounds like a wonderful man

He was a great guy we both had awful first marriages and our family is blended. Our DC were hurt badly by what happened before we met they joined together and all our lives were rebuilt.

I'm glad you all had him to love in your lives.
I'm sorry for your loss

I'm glad you felt like that about the funeral annielouisa, it's how I felt about my DH's too.

I've been thinking about you, I found after the funeral very hard as it's closure for acquaintances but not for those closest.
I'm not sure how old you are, but I've joined WAY which is an online forum for those widowed under 50, there is also WAY-Up for those over 50. If you feel you need to talk to people who have been / are in similar situations it might help.

I'm also posting on a thread here on MN started by a poster whose husband died earlier this year, mine died in March. There are other posters just basically supporting us and a few whose spouse died a few years ago who also post. It is a lovely 'huggy' thread, please let me know if you want a link.

Hope you are keeping on keeping on.

Hi chasing l know what you mean about closure but not for close family. I am 58 so l suppose Way up is for me. I am hurting but also having to try and deal with logistics of forms and changes to my life financial and otherwise. The suddeness has hit the family so hard and its dreadful watching tge DC and DGC suffering.
