I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine having a 6 month old baby while going through this most difficult time. You have found a good place to connect with people. Everyone here can understand the pain of grief as we have all been there and are going through it too. Mine died of a sudden heart attack also. It's so surreal. I'm sending you love and light and hoping you know that we are here for you.

I, too, am so very sorry for your sudden and recent loss. This grief journey sucks for everyone here. This is our common thread . . "grief". We all have differing circumstances, differing ages and time lines, but we do "get it". A six month old daughter leaves you much to live for; yet creates a serious broken heart thinking of all she will miss from her daddy. I understand, as many here will and attest to. Life can seemingly be "unfair". There will be many questions we will never have the answers to, at least not immediate answers . . perhaps someday? Now is the time to "grow into this" . . learn to "move through" it . . be strong for your daughter, as you do have a continued purpose in life. Easy? No way . . it is never easy, but we do survive this. One day, one moment at a time . . baby steps and take care of you so you can take care of her. Ask for help when you need it, learn to depend on others if you can . . .

I'm so very sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences to you and your family. Welcome to our group . . the one no one ever expected to belong to . . but here we are. We will walk with you along this journey, as we either have been there and moved beyond or we are sharing the same time-lines. In any event, I hope you will find solace with shared experiences and voices here.

Hugs and prayers to you, xo, Dayna

I am so very sorry to hear about your sudden loss of your husband and your baby's father. It's a tragedy beyond measure. There are many here who are or have gone through the same thing. You will never get over this loss, but you can survive it.

For now the importance of taking care of both yourself and your child are of upmost importance. How do you do that is by grieving. Let yourself cry and get through the emotions. Writing your feelings down was helpful for me. I wrote letters to my husband and, in my case, to God about the unfairness of what happened.

You will experience many emotions and talking about them here is welcome and encouraged. Hugs to you, Sharon

so sorry for you pain. I cannot imagine trying to go through this with a 6 mth old. Please come here often. You will need to vent, cry, scream - we are all good listeners.

I'm so sorry for your loss, hoping you have a strong support group to help you and help with your child.
Hoping this gives you an outlet to voice all of your emotions to help you cope with this life change.
Sending you support and kind thoughts.

You have a tough road to travel. I hate to say welcome but this is a fantastic group! We all understand. I can't imagine going through this with an infant. But she's a part of him. Be thankful you have her. Come here as often as you need, there's always someone here. Take care, Rachel

I am so so sorry for your loss, I can certainly relate to your words " my life changed in the blink of an eye" I too received a phone call. My husband was on the job and passed very suddenly and unexpectedly and was young although I don't think age matters becasue we are all so lost without them. It has been 8 very long months and I can honestly say the only things that keep me getting up in the morning are my kids. I don't really have advice for you except that you need to let your feelings out and don't try to hide them from anyone. So much has changed for you and will change daily. I am so glad I found this site because for a while there I thought no one understood. Take are of yourself
