my dh went fishing last night and at 11:30pm I had a knock on the door from the police .... My dh has been found dead on a footpath at the lake They think it was a massive heart attack, a stroke or a blood clot but will do a PM tomorrow, I don't know what to do, I have my family here with me but it is easier to talk on here How do I tell my dc's? WHAT do I tell my dc's - they are only 2.9 and 10 months Will they understand, what are they going to do without their daddy? How will I get through the days without my dh? I know we argued etc but I really, really, loved him and now he is gone Help please

I am so very sorry. What a terrible shock.

I am relieved your family are with you. Have the police or hospital put you in touch with a bereavement counsellor? If you need to talk away from your friends and family, you could also try phoning the samaratans who will know of local organisations to help you, like a local branch of Cruise.

Take care

.

You need to track down yorkiegirl - her DH died in a similar way a year ago.

One very tiny consolation to hold on to (helped me when my dad died in a similar way) - it was quick so he would not have suffered - if you have to die then this is about the best way.

I am guessing your kids are too young to understand much at the moment - the older one maybe a bit - just talk to them and say what feels best at the time.
