Hi,

Thank you for your well wishes. Today as been a tough one. I didn't think it possible to cry as much as I have done.

Dreading tomorrow also. I hope I can keep myself together for the children.

Sending my love to everyone going through similar and sending my thanks to everyone who has offered me words of reassurance over the last few weeks. It has helped me so much.

Hope it goes as well as can be expected.

Hi.

I hope everyone is ok.

I'm glad Christmas is over. Wow it was so hard. I have been crying constantly since Xmas eve - I dont seem to be able to stop.

I don't know what to do.

Sammie I'm sure the hospital or doctors will have said but cpr is fantastic for someone who has had an accident or a shock and the heart has stopped. For someone with a problem with the heart it's not the miracle cure that TV and films would have us believe so dont ever think you did anything not correctly. You did everything you could and more than lots of people would be able to do and you got the professionals there as quickly as they could. I'm so sorry this happened and I hope that, like others have said, it's getting a tiny bit more manageable some hours, or even minutes, of the day. You did amazing to answer your sons question and help him understand it in his own (age appropriate) way.

I've been thinking of you and sending strength through the ether, as to everyone who posts and reads this thread.

Hugs to anyone who needs one right now

Hello Everyone. Hope you are all well and that the Christmas period was as enjoyable as it could be......its a difficult time for those who have lost loved ones.

Sammie I don't post often on the widows thread now. It's been over 4 years since my husband died and I made a deliberate decision to walk away from this thread so I could rebuild my life without constantly looking back to the past.

However, I just wanted to post to offer you my sincere condolences and very best wishes. And a gentle virtual hug. You are so young and what makes it even harder for you is that you have young children and to top it all, you have financial worries.

I am so sorry it is so rough for you.

Well done on getting through Christmas, it must have been gruelling and of course you will be nervous about New Year and what the future might hold.

What can I say.......words seems so inadequate at times but it's all I have. All I can say is that you will get through it, you will find the strength and courage you need, you will do it for your children.

One day it will get easier, but it will take time. There will be the odd moment of peace, there will come a time when you can go a whole day without shedding a tear, when you will find yourself smiling at something your children have said or done.

It will happen eventually.

In the meantime, sending you my very best wishes.

Hugs and love to all. Here's hoping the new year brings us all a little peace and happiness. X
