Hi everyone I'm going through so much right now. My husband passed away Oct.5.2016 he was only 25 and we both were newlyweds just married and have one child together. My husband worked for the county worked a 12 hour shift before he past. He didn't get any sleep after doing a long shift. He only slept one hour and went to play his favorite sport basketball. After playing 2 games on the court he was out of it. He went on playing the third game and that's where he collapsed and had a heartattack. He was breathing for air but people at the court didn't know how to do cpr tgey told me the fire rescue took 30 mins. The fire rescue is 3 mins away from the park this is all mine blowing to me. I lost a husband at an early age. I'm 23 and he 25 was supposed to turn 26 this month. We have a two year old son

Oh my, I am so terribly sorry for your loss, may God be with you and keep you is my prayer, for I know what it is like to loose your husband, I lost mine on September 8,2016, to cancer. I am still grieving, but God has given me a strength to keep pushing every day. I can only hope and pray that you find the strength.

Oh Bo, I'm so sorry. I mean that. Do your best to take care of your little one. He needs his mommy, and truth be told, you need him now more than ever. Me, I don't know how single parents are able to do it alone under the best of circumstances. But there is something inside you that will enable you to do what must be done, to survive, to make the best life possible for your son, no matter what this life may throw at you. Be strong against all odds Bo. You can do this. And you've got this whole community of loving, caring people here to cheer you on. Glad you found us. You are never alone here. ~~~ Scottie

You have picked a good group of people to support you. My husband was tragically killed on September 29th of this year and he just turned 3o. It's hard to label yourself a widow at such a young age. Today was our 12th year anniversary, we had been inseparable since high school. It's hard but having the mind set to "push on" is what we need to function properly. I'm here if you need to talk.

So sorry to hear , I was also newlywed and on my honeymoon when I lost the love of my life tragically through a cardiac arrest . He didn't had any previous medical history whatsoever . I don't know why we have to be the victim , I have a long list of questions to the God and I know I will never get the answers to it . Healing n peace for you . Be with your little one and take care of both of your health .

    Today I feel grateful. Grateful for my dog Blue (Blue Jean Baby Queen, Prettiest girl I've ever seen). Grateful I'm still kickin'. Grateful I'm finally taking responsibility for my health. Grateful I own my home. Grateful for good friends and neighbors who watch over me. Grateful to God for His everlasting love and patience with me. Grateful I survived the 10 years since my wife of 30 years...
