My sweet, kind, wonderful husband died this morning. He was on his way to meet me and our children and was involved in a car accident. He was 31 and we have 2 DC aged 5 and 2. I am broken and lost and don't know where we go from here. He was my best friend in the whole world, my rock, my voice of reason, and the best dad I could have wished for for our children. Life is so cruel.

I have been surrounded by family today and my mum is staying the night. I am numb. I keep expecting him to come home, to call or text me. I had to go an identity his body this afternoon. This shouldn't be happening.

Sending love and strength to you and your children ❤️

Whatevergetsyouthroughthenight · 01/01/2023 20:23

Oh, it’s so, so devastating. I lost my husband very suddenly a few years, not as young as you but still very young by most standards, so I can feel your pain and shock. When you are ready, there is a group called ‘Widowed and Young’ where may find support from those who understand.

ShirleyPhallus · 01/01/2023 20:24

I’m so sorry, how awful Flowers
