My sweet husband was returning home and had a heart attack on the flight home on9/16.I received a call from the Coroners office and the last 3 weeks have been surreal dealing with unexpected expenses, cremation, mortuaries, death certificates. It’s all just so much so suddenly
My condolences. So much stress immediately after their passing. It's an education I don't wish on anyone. Rick
My condolences, I know all to well the overwhelming stress, forms and the legalities that comes along with death. I lost my husband unexpectedly and suddenly 6 montgs ago. Im still dealing with the fall out. Make lists, try and get one task a day or everyother day. Slowly you get through it. Its hard and it sucks and it rips you apart everytime you have to write his name, or make a phone call. Ask for help. Thats the big one.
It's all awful and it's all overwhelming. So many decisions. Making them and then wondering if you made the right decision. The best advice I got is to take your time and don't rush into anything. Do things when you are ready. 81 days.
Very true. Most of the hard stuff is done as it will be 2 years in December. Although I can mostly control my emotions, there are still triggers that cause me to cry a bit. I can mostly talk about it now, but I will drive by something we did together and the memories sadden me. It's hard, but I think the way out is to try to remember the joy of that moment.....could be wrong. Thanks for the encouragement.
I am so sorry for you. Nothing prepares you for this. The best I can offer is take one day, one hour even just one minute at a time. I made lists and just tried to do my best. I lost my husband 11 months ago. I’m still dealing with things. I had to close our business that we built together and empty our shop. Hardest thing I’ve ever done. Don’t push too hard or too fast. Most things can wait. Accept any and all help offered.
I recently lost my husband suddenly while he was working out of town . we still have no answers. I am completely lost.
Jitsky, so so sorry for your loss. You are not alone. Lost my husband aug 1st from heart attack. Just making it day by day, its all we can do. Its so overwheling and hard to be alon without them. Take care of you. Again you are not alone.
LueSheck, a loss of any kind is heartbreaking, however I can just imagine that him being out of town, and getting that phone call......I was with my husband when he started having virus like symptoms which turned into a massive heart attack. 2 hours later I lost the love of my life. It’ll be 1 year next month, as the one year approaches I’m feeling worse. My heart aches for you. As others said, one day at a time and accept any help offered. I personally have trouble asking for help but I do accept offered help. Take care of yourself.
RLC, I'm so sorry for your loss as well. Thank for the kind words. I have trouble asking for help as well. I'm trying to cope and pretend to be ok for our daughter's sake. Never would I have imagined I would lose my husband at 46. Thank you so much for your reply.
LueSheck I can’t even imagine, 46! Devastating to say the least. My husband was 63, married 41 years. Been together since I was 16, ran a business together. We were together 24/7 pretty much. I feel for your daughter as well. Her life is upside down also. I have 2 adult children, my daughter lives close and she’s a God send! I’m sure you and your daughter will be help to each other, to try and muttle through as best you can. I’m happy for you that you have her. Thinking of you as I try to rest. Nights are so difficult!
