My DH passed away suddenly on Thursday 26 June, there has to be a post mortem and I cannot bring him home until the coroner releases his body. I am struggling to realise that he is gone, as I have been unable to go and see him owing to distance from home and mortuary being closed at weekend. Mum and brother are here, am getting amazing support from them, my 3 children and so many friends. I am finding it hard at night and getting up very early not wanting to wake others but feel need to chat.

I am so sorry for your loss Evenstar. I don't have words to comfort you enough but please know that you are in my prayers and thoughts.

Evenstar · 30/06/2008 22:22

Thank you for all your kind words, it means a lot to know that so many people are praying and thinking of me. May be back later as I have spent very little time with family today due to spending time on phone and organising an order of service. I have been able to speak to someone who was with my dh at the end, and should be able to speak to someone else tomorrow who was directly involved in his medical care and I know for sure that he didn't suffer. The post mortem is tomorrow and we hope to bring him back to us on Wednesday as long as the coroner doesn't order more tests.

Evenstar
I don't quite know where to begin to say how sorry I was to read your thread. It must all be a haze for you as this has all happened as such a shock. I would like to send love and support to you and your three children at this sad time.

Hi OJ, sorry to see that you are awake too, it has been a bad night. Just can't seem to settle. How are you, I followed your threads but didn't post as I didn't know you and it seemed presumptuous. I know now that I should have done as it doesn't matter on here, the new support thread is a great idea I think.
