    On September 9th 2018 I lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack. He was only 43. And it was also are wedding anniversary. This all happened at home in front of my 19 year old daughter and I. We both gave him CPR for what seemed like forever waiting for EMS to arrive. I'm so lost and overwhelmed with anxiety. The symptoms that the anxiety is causing creates even more anxiety as those symptoms are so similar to a heart attack. The pain and emotions come like waves. I feel so alone.

    Sorry to hear about your husband. I lost my mother suddenly in May. It's never easy to lose someone, but a sudden lose seems different somehow. I think people are just numb for a while until they come to grips with what actually happened. I can relate to the anxiety. Perhaps both you and your daughter can go to a support group or some other type of counseling. I hope being here (to know that others have suffered loss or simply to vent) will also help.
