    • About Me

      My husband died of a massive heart attack while he was at home in the morning getting my 6 yr old daughter ready for school. I was at work and my daughter had to call me at work to tell me daddy was sleeping on the floor and will not wake up. he was 43. We were the best of friends, each of us were our first boy/girlfriends and have been together almost 30 yrs. I am at a loss of what to do. I have an extensive family (11 brothers and sisters) but I am the first to loose someone close, even my parents are still alive, and they just can not comprehend.

      I was always running around with my kids, my husband or all of the many animals I did with rescue, now I am not sure. I seem to just sit here and stare at the computer screen, Mark's favorite spot in the house

      From missmyhero September 3

      I love your poem that you wrote. It says so much of how hard we are trying to live and how life is so hard now without our husbands.

      Today is also the five month mark since I lost my husband, Denny. He had a brain tumor. I never would have said it made it easier before because it was hell to watch him go through the biopsy, then the brain resection, then the chemo and radiation, then the waiting, then the problems with his memory, then his body weakening, then all the doctor visits and tests, then watching him dieing, but I am starting to realize that having some idea that he was going to die did make it so we did not want him to suffer anymore when he took his last breath.

      I still tried everything to save him and it hurts that I could not, but even the doctors could not save him.

      You not only are facing what I am....and I am too young to be a widow...but you are even younger, and it was unexpected, and you have young children, and you got together young enough that you may not have had to rely on your own strength before you lost your husband. It is all SO much to go through, I can't imagine.

      What I am going through is enough...

      Anyhow, I am not trying to upset you, only to say that it makes sense to me that you are still having an even harder time of it than me....and I miss my husband so so much!!

      Please hang in there. Know that you are not alone in your pain and we are here for you here at DS.

      many many hugs!!
      -Diana
