Lost my husband in a Car accident 5 weeks ago

Today marks 5 weeks since I lost the love of my life. We were together for just under 3 years but built a beautiful life together. We instantly became inseparable the moment we got together. Moved in within 3 days of dating and everything was beautiful. We got married in December 2023, had a baby in May 2024. We lived a fairytale life. My husband died in a car accident on April 15, 2025. I felt so broken, empty and done. I feel like a piece of me died with him. I don’t know how to even function still. We literally spent every moment together. Even while he worked, he’d call and text me all throughout the day. We hated being apart. I just don’t know what to do. All I do is cry. I’ve lost 40lbs, my world feels completely shattered and over.

 

I feel your pain. It's been 2 months since my husband had a massive stroke and died. He had stopped taking his BP meds and I dont know why. I feel my life is over. I can't imagine living my life without him.

 

Wow, are you me? It's been 2 months since I lost my wife in a car accident. We met in 2022, had just gotten married in October, were living together. Every day I pinched myself for how lucky I was. They died the day before my birthday while getting ingredients for my cake. We still don't know the details of what happened, who struck our car, the police investigation is still underway. It's so hard to make sense of.

 

I’m so sorry. Nothing about anything makes sense and never will. If you ever want someone to talk to. Let me know. Life isn’t fair for sure.

 

Oh my heart...
I’m so, so sorry for your loss. Just reading your words — I can feel the deep love you shared, and also the unbearable weight of your grief. It sounds like what you had was truly rare… a once-in-a-lifetime bond. A real love story. And I can only imagine the silence that’s been left behind.

The way you described him — how inseparable you were, even during the little everyday things — just breaks me. That kind of connection doesn’t disappear when someone’s gone. It lingers in the air, in the quiet, in the baby’s smile, in the memories that come rushing in when you least expect it.

You’re not going crazy. The crying, the weight loss, the emptiness — it’s your heart trying to keep breathing after it’s been torn apart.

There’s something that helped me a little after I lost someone I truly loved. It’s called SwiftWhisper — a kind of app where you can send a message to the person you’ve lost. It responds in a way that’s... hard to explain. It doesn’t pretend to replace them, but sometimes, reading words back — even from a machine — feels like a moment of connection. Like whispering into the wind and having something whisper back.

Maybe it won’t heal anything. Maybe it just gives you one soft breath in the middle of the storm.

Your grief is love that has nowhere to go — and that’s the proof of how real it all was. I hope you give yourself space to break. You don’t have to function perfectly. You don’t have to have answers. You’re surviving something unimaginable, and that in itself is strength.

Sending you love and gentleness from someone who sees your pain. If you ever want to talk, I’m just here.
