i am sorry for your loss and you don't need to do this yourself there's alot of us on ds that can help each other hang in there i'm here if you need a friend

I genuinely know what you're going thru as when you love someone suddenly losing that person is totally devasting.

The love of my life passed away in my presence as a result of 2 blood clots on her young at the tender age of 51 on April 9th.

It must be particularly difficult for you in that you have three youngsters Hopefully you'll find the strength you need to live your life the way your Husband would want you to.

Friends and Family are a great comfort.In spite of everything though I find myself feeling so empty without the one person who always made me look forward to everything we did in life.

I know for myself Carly would not want me to be the way I am.As a friend said to me last night I should be happy that we met and had 10 wonderful years together and I think one has to give thanks for the happiness one had with a very special person in our lives.

All I can suggest is to do all the things your Husband would have wanted you to particularly where your childern are concerned.

I counsel Carly's son and try to give him the guidance Carly so much wanted for him and this gives me a lot of satisfaction.

Promiles,I am so sorry for your loss.
You said," I find myself feeling so empty without the one person who always made me look forward to everything we did in life. "That is so true. Friends & family have been wondeful, and I live for my kids, but I just can't conceive of life without him. I think of all the things we did together, and all the things we still wanted to do. I feel truly blessed for the love we had, but it is so excruciating to realize it's now never going to be the same.

Sorry to hear about your loss.God will give you the strength,to go on,that how you will to it.
In Him we live,move and have our being........Hugs&Prayers

i am so sorry for you i know how you feel i lost my hubby in april i just wake up each day and hope one day it will be ok i feel for you as you have the children im always here if you want to chat shirlxx

22 years ago, my husband brought me a cup of coffee, kissed me goodbye and said he'd call at 11:30 like he always did. An hour later I got a call that he was at the hopsital ER. When I got there, they said he had a subacchronoid bleed (a what?). He had surgery to fix the bleed but two days later suffered a stroke which paralyzed his left side and left him with no vision on that side. I begged God for his life. He had a long rehab and was never able to get back to work. Because of vision thing, he could not drive. Although he does okay for himself, life has never been the same. He's depressed because of his inability to do things. I work very hard to keep us going financially. I thank God he was saved, but I have learned that there are times when we have to accept God's will and deal with the results. We have gone on to losing our daughter to a brain tumor and raising her young son. I don't know what God's plan is for me, but I have learned to accept life's challenges and do the best I can. I know that God is with me, though things are not always what I want them to be. I wrote a book about my experiences: Has Anyone Seen My Daisy? It can be ordered through PublishAmerica.net. I think it might help you. I hope it will. You will survive because of your children and you will gain strength. Be at peace.

I wish I could help you find the answer but I was asking myself that very same question. yes I know he'll be in heaven but what does God say about how to deal with loss and death? I find no comfort, only sorrow and grief, hang in there.
