My Loving Husband Passed Unexpectedly

When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes Are filled with tears for me

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry The way you did today While thinking of the many things We didn’t get to say

I know how much you love me As much as I love you And each time you think of me I know you’ll miss me too

But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand

And said my place was ready In Heaven far above And that I’d have to leave behind All those I dearly love

But when I walked through Heaven’s gate I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me From His great golden throne

He said this is eternity And all I promised you Today your life on earth is past But here it starts anew

I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And since each day’s the same way There’s no longing for the past

So when tomorrow starts without me Don’t think we’re far apart For every time you think of me I’m right here in your heart

I'm glad I have my pup and kitty to keep me company, they also seem sad and sense his absence in our home. I can't talk about him or even think about him without tears in my eyes, I loved him so much.

Bereavement is a pain that there is no known cure for. The days will come when memory won't automatically induce the tears. Other times the tears will appear for no apparent reason. SeaBreeze, the heavy heart that you have to endure has probably been experienced by many here, which is why we all feel for you. My prayers and condolences to you and in loving memory of your husband, I saw André Rieu on the TV this evening. He had a very special guest, Jermaine Jackson, who sang the song that he sang at Michael's funeral: "Smile."


Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.

Peace be with you Seabreeze.

As I was getting ready to welcome October and the Fall Season, my husband passed away in our bed in the middle of the night.

Our bond was strong for fifty years together, we were best friends and soulmates who shared laughter and love every single day. We spent a lot of time traveling around and camping in beautiful places just soaking in the landscape, oceans, skies, the nature, the wildlife. At least I have a lot of good loving memories. He was everything to me, and I will never stop missing him and loving him. He was a good man, kind to people and animals, and always kind and loving with me. 💜

I'm glad I have my pup and kitty to keep me company, they also seem sad and sense his absence in our home. I can't talk about him or even think about him without tears in my eyes, I loved him so much.

I've just noticed your sad announcement. I don't understand exactly what you are feeling right now because grief is so individual and personal but I hope you find comfort in your memories of happier days with your husband.

I lost my husband of 61 years earlier this year in an unexpected, but not unanticipated way. Only now am I emerging from a fog of grief. He lives now in my memories and he is everywhere in the house. I cannot water the garden without thinking of him.

May you be comforted in your time of grief.
May every uncomfortable memory disappear like smoke.
May all of the good memories endure like precious stones.

My love to you, Seabreeze, for I consider you my forum friend.🥰

My Condolences Sea Breeze, when my husband died 4 days ago it was expected. Doesn’t make it easier though. We were married 48 years. I reached out to people here and they have really given me comfort. Take care ❤️

Thank you so much Warrigal, your message means a lot to me. Sincere sympathy for the loss of your husband, may he rest peacefully. Sending love and hugs your way. 💙
 
I am so sorry for your loss. God must have loved you both so much to allow him a peaceful passing there in his own home sleeping next to the woman he had loved all his life.

Things are going to be difficult, I will say that the first year is the easiest, God has a way of making us go kind of numb with the shock of it. The bad part starts when the true reality of it sets in. The best advice is to take your time, grief in whatever way helps you. There is no time limit on grief, it lasts forever but how you deal with it over time changes.

Lastly, do not rush to make any major decisions. Take your time to evaluate your situation and what would be best for you in the long run. I was widowed at 51 after 31 years of marriage. My most important goal was my son, to see that he got through college. To make sure he spent time with other men of quality that could help him navigate his way. His Dad got sick at 46 and did not get the time to help him learn all the things that young men should know. Son was only 17 at that time of illness. Hi is a fine young man today, even with losing his Dad.

I send you wishes of peace and comfort as you figure out the best way forward without your forever love.
