My Thomas passed from a massive coronary and resp. failure and I did CPR for 25 minutes until ems arrived. They are around the corner from me. It was the biggest nightmare of my entire life. I believe they could not find us for the address 911 system is so screwed up. I have the Lord and have Faith in the Lord but even with that I find it hard to accept Tommys passing and still ask why. He had no symptoms and he was not ill it was the silent killer. even with the test available they would not have detected anything. I look in the mirror and I have aged, The sorrow and heartache ages a person and the life you knew and the happiness isn't there anymore. I know I will go on with my life but no-one will take Tommys place. eventually again I will get myself together and my strength will come again but at the moment I am in a meltdown and going through the sorrow again. Peace to you, Bless you and may you find comfort I know how hard it truly is. I hate the loneliness and the emptiness of coming home to an empty house. I miss Thomas and will aways miss him and MY love for him still grow each and every day. That is never ending!

So Sorry for your loss, It is hard thing to overcome and I don't think you ever overcome losing the partner in life. Thomas passed it will be a year and I thought I was okay, But I had another meltdown today. The ups and downs the tormoil and heartache comes and goes. You think your getting to adjust and thinks are starting to get smoother and then you get a set back that just devastes you. Your right back into the hurt, pain and sorrow. Thomas was my whole world, my life, he gave me the best years of my life and I was never so happy. The Angels took him home and I know he is happy and at peace but At the moment I feel Like I am living in a hell. I know that I am going though another part of the series of grieving and will overcome this like all the other parts of grieving I have endured this year. I will again pray to God for his compassion, ask for his grace and understanding to help me though this tough time in my life. But My life, and how I knew it, is over, I will not get that part of my life back and My world has changes forever. I miss Tommy, I want him back, I know I will see him again when my time comes and I cross he will be there with his hand out ot me to bring me home. Hugs and My prayers are with you
