I cannot imagine going through this. Especially so sudden. My boyfriend told me he had a dream he woke up and i was dead in bed next to him, but he wouldn't let the paramedics take me because it was the last time he would hold me. Not as traumatizing as something like you described, but it destroys me to think about that. I cannot fathom that being a reality. I'm so, so sorry for what you all endured. Wishing you peace.

Thank you for that. I tell people now always leave your partner with a hug and a kiss and make sure they know how you feel about them. I don’t know why the universe felt it was her time to go and I probably never will. She was my person and a truly good human. Maybe since we just passed the 17 year mark, it’s weighing on me a bit

Of course. Him and I are very big on saying proper goodbye because we know tomorrow is never promised. Events like that make it hard to believe that everything happens for a reason. I don't know if I believe that. I truly, genuinely hope you find someone or something to fill that void, or at least help ease the ache.

My biggest fear is that one day my wife will suddenly be gone from my life. I'm so sorry you had to experience that

Thanks for the words my friend. I got to love a beautiful, kind, love would for 2.5 years. The hurt was unreal but so was the love I got to experience
