My Husband of 32 years passed away suddenly of Heart Problems, he was the picture of Health 52 yrs. old and died after riding 22 miles on his road bike and he made it back home and died in my yard. The neighbors found him and I pulled up to the house with them doing CPR. It will be 1 month Tuesday and each day is getting harder than the day before.

I am for very sorry for your loss, you have found a wonderful place
of comfort , understanding and support... The grief journey is
different for everyone but it is something we all need to go through,
I tried to avoid it as I tried to stay too busy, it hit me in the face when
I finally slowed down, be good to yourself...take care of yourself
and breath some days that's all you can do... Tracy

I am so sorry for you loss. Congratulations to you son for graduating from Physical Therapy and his upcoming marriage. I can empathsize with about your upcoming son's wedding. My husband died April 19, 2010 and our youngest son was married May 15, 2010, not even a month after his father's death. It was rough to through the wedding without him, but I knew he was there in spirit. I hope you find peace to have a nice day, even though someone very important is missing. It will be a bittersweet day. I hope the days get easier for you. Take care...Nancy

Andree, I am so sorry for your loss, and then the wedding that will be so hard to do with out him. My husband died suddenly and it is a hard thing to go through. I know that with the help of others and this site, it has been easier to face. It is still a hard road to walk. The nice thing about DS is that we all know what you are going through, and are willing to be there for you. Keep active and vent, and we will offer our advice. May you find the peace of God, and the hope of Jesus Christ in your life. It is the only thing that keeps me afloat. Hugs~Shelley
