My dear husband of 58 years died last Sunday .. He had been transported from the Stoke hospital to the Dougie Mac that very day. We were hoping he would live a few more weeks. I feel totally lost and can't imagine my life without him. How does one cope with such a horrendous and cruel time ?
Hi
I'm so sorry to read that your husband has recently died and how you're feeling at the moment is completely normal.
As you know the online community is divided up into different support groups so I hope you don't mind me recommending that you join the bereaved spouses and partners group where you can share your feelings and give and receive support.
If you'd like to do this just click on the link I've created and then join and post in the same way as you did here.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
