I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband was 34 and I am 31. I lost him just two weeks ago (July 24th, 2001) and it was very sudden. He was perfectly healthy and came into contact with a horrible bacteria that finally stopped his heart. It all happened in 24 hours and I'm just devastated. I feel way too young to be dealing with this right now. I was just starting to deal with the fact that my mother passed away last May (car accident) and now this. All I can say is that things must somehow get better. It's horrible to be left here without the choice to leave with that loved one. For some reason we have a purpose on this earth and more work to do. My husband was my very best friend. We did everything together and we could talk forever. Now it's been two weeks since we've had that connection and I know that we won't have that until we are reunited. It hurts really bad and I have a good sense of what you're going through right now. Just know that we all must go someday and we will all be together someday as well. For now, take it one breath at a time. I too am finding it difficult to sleep. I wake up with my heart beating so fast and difficulty breathing. But our spouses will show us the way, we just have to be open to their assistance and believe that they can communicate with us. I have felt my husband with me since he passed. I feel certain messages (not a voice) but messages that he's telling me. It's a very weird but wonderful connection.
If you need to talk, please feel free to contact me.
Best of luck to you and may peace comfort you in your daily life.
Take Care,
Lucy
