My husband died suddenly

Hi, My husband (42) died on 1st December and i'm struggling to come to terms with it all. He was a very fit healthy man and was never poorly. We have 2 kids and got married only 4 months ago. he had a blood clot in his leg and 2 weeks later he was diagnosed with metastatic cancer (primarily bowel and moved to 50% of his liver, 1 lung and some lymph nodes). He was given 3 years to live but he died within 4 weeks of diagnosis The Dr's said they had only seen one case like this before where the cancer was so aggressive. I am still in total shock and i don't know how i am meant to do this? i'm broken and part of me wishes i could die too which i know sounds terrible as i have 2 children to look after and get through losing their daddy. I know i need to go on for them, but knowing my future will be without my husband  leaves me hollow and scared.

  • So sorry to read this, a huge shock for you and your family. It's very early days and your grieving, losing a loved one through any circumstances is terrible. But losing your husband so suddenly must feel absolutely unbearable.

    This isn't something you can go through alone, there are many bereavement organisations you can contact online. And some excellent ones for families, I don't know how old your children are, but if they are of an age to understand, they will probably be hurting too. Definitely worth speaking to someone on this site, I'm sure they will have a bereavement counsellor.

    Nothing can bring your husband back, but in time your pain will be come bearable. You will never forget him, but will learn to live without him and it seems very dark at the moment, in time the light will shine again.

    Wishing you and your family all the best for the future xx
