In reply to the discussion: My husband died suddenly in August. He was 52. [View all]richdj25
(196 posts)56. I lost my wife
on December 18, 2003. Her passing was also unexpected, and I love her very - very much. Was a wreck for quite sometime, so I can certainly feel you.
That hanging on by a thread is fine....goes with getting through each day, as you mentioned. Just take in the pain as it comes, and don't totally avoid family and close friends. They're good to talk to about any and everything, for the most part.
And try to do busy stuff, as often as your heart will allow.
Time is your friend.
Be well
