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'm sorry for your loss

So sorry to read this message, glad you are getting lots of support in RL. My brother died suddenly two years ago and we had to travel about 60 miles to see him and I think I was hoping they'd got it wrong and I'd say ' it's not him' when I got there. Your eyes need to see him to properly know yes it is true. take care x

Dearest Evenstar,
I do not know you but feel terribly shocked and saddened for you and your children. My son collapsed and died in my garden when he was 14, he was alone, so I can truly understand how you are feeling at this unreal, painful time. My love to you all, xx

Evenstar, have linked you to the prayer thread.
So glad to hear that you have a Christian belief, you know now that he is safe in the Lord's arms. Not lost at all, not alone at all, but safely home. It will be very hard for you that this awful thing happened to your dear, good husband and the "WHY" question will never be far from your heart.
But I'm praying for you and your family that you will find that peace above all understanding.
