    I have no words. There is nothing that can prepare you for losing a spouse.
    On Friday, I lost my soul mate and life partner of 38 years.
    He was found deceased in his truck at his place of employment. Autopsy has confirmed a heart attack took his life. The kids and I are in shock.
    Our family will never be the same

    Heartbreaking news, Netty.
    I am wishing you all the strength you need to work through this.
    One thing is certain: you have friends here that you can always talk to to keep the unhappiness at a minimum.
    Comforting hugs to you dear friend.

    Oh Netty My heart breaks for you and your family. Such a shocking loss.
    Life hands us all some tough things to go through. Speechless describes it well. It’s so hard and it hurts so much.
    I’ll be praying for you and wishing you peace and strength as you go forward.

    Oh dear. I am so sorry. We lost our son in law recently, to the same thing, so I know how much of a shock it is.

    I'm sorry, I had no idea. I just returned back to GardenStew after a break... There's unfortunately nothing I can say to fix this. There is sadly no remedy - So whenever I hear about such think, I get jolted back to when I lost loved ones... So some wounds get refreshed again this way. Therefore all I can say is, that I know exactly what this feels like. It's something we just have to sadly endure. But one thing we all can do, is be supportive. So I'm here, if you ever want to talk.

    My belated condolences @Netty. I lost mine 12 years ago and it's still hard.
