There is no time to make peace with the death. It just happens. It is so unfair that our time with our mates was so short. Thinking of you.

I am glad that you are part of the community, too, and hope it helps you on your journey, however it can.

You have been through a TON of loss, dear one, and you express your emotions so vividly. My husband's death was also sudden and massive heart-attack, although I was home asleep when he collapsed at work, an hour after leaving our apartment. I wish I could hug you somehow. I just feel so much empathy and power in reading your story. Welcome , welcome, welcome ........

I feel cheated out of the opportunity to grow old with this man. I am thinking you probably feel that, too. May the place that you shared with him bring you solace and comfort.

We also had past relationships and I so loved finding my life partner and looking forward to spending together time after raising our daughter. Then my husband died six months ago right before my daughter graduated from high school, and very suddenly like your Stan. Now I am lost too, but don't want to leave this place where I feel he still is.
