Hand hold - DH likely to die in next few days

[Bahemoth]

My DH went to hospital a month ago with seizures that wouldn’t stop. He was resistant to all medication so they had to put him in an induced coma on ICU to try and stop them and reduce swelling on the brain. This last option hadn’t worked, as they don’t know the underlying cause for the seizures and they’ve now told me he’s unlikely to survive.

We have two young children and I’m not sure how I can face life without him or how I would break the news to DS9 when the time comes. My other child is 4. I’m in bits, he’s only 39 and was fit and healthy before this.

I am so sorry. X

💐😪💐

I'm so sorry. Life can be so unfair.

Thinking of you all and sending love and strength ❤️

So sorry OP.

I'm 10 years in from where you are now, kids now young teens.

I promise you you will be ok,

It's so horrifyingly unfair.

Handhold from me 💐

So sorry.

Winston's Wish have been very helpful to lots of families. I hope they can help you too.

I’m so sorry OP. Holding your hand and sending you and your children strength.

When the big picture is as overwhelming as that, try to focus on the little one. Take it moment by moment. Don't think any further ahead than you need to. Just be present where you are and as each event unfolds you deal with it when it comes. Do whatever you need to do to be as calm and comfortable as you can and the moments and days will pass, you will survive and there will be lighter times ahead.

A friend got sterling support from Widowed and Young, had at least 18 years contact with them (their child was 1 year old when he died - she used their resources/ meet-ups until child went to uni).

Big, big handhold. I‘m so sorry you’re going through this.

💔

I'm so sorry op. Sending you lots of love and I pray for you that he comes out the other side of this. ❤️

My thoughts are with you and your children. My Dad died very suddenly when I was 10 and my brother 5. We took one step at a time and many years later I
still remember the day. Take good care of yourself and do what you need to do for support.

I'm glad your sister is with you. Take all the offers of support. I'm so sorry. X

This is terrible OP. I am so very sorry

I am so terribly sorry x

So very sorry this is happening. 💐💐💐

I have no words of wisdom OP but just wanted to say how sorry I am that you and the children are facing this, life really is unfair 😢

Sending love and strength 💐

Sending love and holding your hand tight xx

Is there a psychologist who works itu? Some units have contacts with the hospitals psychology team who might be able to offer advice to you. Also this charity are very good www.simonsays.org.uk/

Aw I'm so sorry. Nothing of help to add, just I'm terribly sad for you and your children. I'm sending you love and strength xx

Sending love and strength to you and your family and your poor DH.

So very sorry OP. Big hug and handhold from me. Sending love to you and your little ones.

So sorry OP. Sending a big hug to all of you. x

A very kind nurse taught me to tap my forehead in times when I needed to hold things together and that worked for me. It might for you too until you have the space to deal with everything.
Wishing you well xx

I'm so sorry 🌹💐
