Two loves die - Sudden Death worse for griever

7 wksago my live together 10 yrs love collapsed dead in one minute sudden cardiac.

I cannot deal with the unfinished business I was working on with him who I love so deeply.

my eyes hurt so much from crying and losing sleep. He and I traveled and did so much 24/7 as we were retired. Now I am alone most family gone also. 12 yrs ago my husband of 30+ yrs died cancer but we had time together to mourn, cry, hug.  So hard to count blessings when you have so little hope to go on. CH

CH,

Sorry for your loss, I wanted to kill myself when my Husband died 5 years ago, he was my whole life, we retired together and did everything together.  There is nothing for me to live for, I just wait each day for God to take me so I can join him.

Dear Linda I follow your postings and feel just as you do. Life for me can never be fulfilling because I WAS fulfilled. Now I'm an empty shell.

Dear CH. Two lost loves that's really hard. I lost the love of my life to a sudden death t to 17 months ago and I know I'll never get over it. Like you we were retired and travelled the world. After 3 months of coping I had a full blown nervous breakdown and had to be hospitalized I see other widows who seem to be coping but I cant envisage another 20 years without him by my side. Everyday is awful. I have to go on because I have 3 grown up sons but I just can't imagine it.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
