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.

Evenstar, so sorry to hear of your loss.

Love and prayers to you and your DC x

evenstar, so, so sorry. How far away is he? You may have lots of RL help around you but you/your children may need some professional help too - is there someone that can set the ball rolling for you?

MN will be here, and I am sure you will get lots of wonderful advice.

What a dreadful thing to happen Evenstar - I hope you will take comfort from the fact that your dh didn't suffer. How old are your children?

My thoughts are with you.

So sorry for your loss Evenstar xxx

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 29/06/2008 08:18

I am so sorry Evenstar.

We had our ds laid to rest at home and I can't tell you what a comfort that was for us. We could see him and talk to him whenever we wanted to, which made letting him go at the funeral that tiny bit easier. So, I hope you can bring your dh home as soon as possible.

The early waking will probably carry on for a while (I don't think the brain shuts off properly when you are experiencing this level of grief), but it does get better.

I wish a safe and peaceful journey to your husband, and much love and strength to you and your dc for the coming months.

Evenstar, how absolutley awful for you and your family. I am sorry for the sudden loss of your DH.

I hope you can get your DH back near to you tomorrow. I see you have older children from your profile, how are they doing ?

Anything any of us can do, you are in the Home Counties, where abouts ?

I'm glad you have lots of RL support but as you can see there are always plenty on MN'ers here to help too. xxxxxxx
