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.

Oh dear God, how dreadful.

You have all my love.

I hope that the funeral is peaceful and helps you and the children with his most awful loss.

Horrifically practical note, do you know that your are probably entitled to a £2000 non means tested grant if your husband was under 60 and had paid his 'stamp'? I know tht it is vile to raise this but I also know just how expensive this terrible time can be. Please forgive my lack of tact

Am welling up reading this how have the children taken it? Don't be afraid to cry in front of them. A big group hug and crying session is probably what you all need right now.
