My husband has died

He died today. He was 42. He had recently been diagnosed with a heart condition and spent a month in hospital but we believed he was going to be okay. He went upstairs for a rest and they think he had a heart attack. He didn't cry out, they think it would have been fairly instant. I found him when I went to check on him a few hours later and I knew he had gone, I did CPR but I knew it was too late.

He was my soul mate, my other half, the true love of my life. We have a little girl who is almost 3. If it wasn't for her I would kill myself. I can't imagine life ever having any meaning without him.

@peachgreen someone suggested this earlier in the thread.
When my mum died my dad was grief stricken. One thing helped him tremendously. He wrote a book of her life using photographs to illustrate. It wasn't for publishing but as a way of doing something practical, pouring over photos that had never been put in albums and working out the chronological order of them. He included various school reports, and memorabilia they had accumulated. It was a beautiful and loving tribute to her which is also very precious to me and my siblings and our children.
You write so movingly it might help you and provide a lasting legacy of dear Mike for your daughter.
Sending you much love and will be thinking of you all tomorrow .

Peachgreen I have just come across this thread. I remember reading your thread when Mike was in hospital. I am so so sorry to read this. So sorry.

He sounds so lovely and you have had the most amazing love. It is so hard to realise he is not there anymore. So painful.

The support on Mumsnet is amazing. At any time day or night there will be someone here to listen. Always.

I’m glad you got some medical help. Be open with people. Let them help. They won’t take your daughter away. And you will feel better. Hard as it may seem now.

I like so many here will be thinking of you today. Much love to you.

You might not feel like it now but you are so lucky to have experienced a love like that. To love and be loved so deeply is rare and such a gift.
Be rest assured that at 10:30 and 2:00pm today you will be in the hearts of all the lovely people who have commented on this thread.
