Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible

Sending heartfelt sympathies to you & your family at this sad time . Much love to you all xx

I am overwhelmed by all your kind wishes -so many -.

We were on holiday in France, Staying in the gite we had 'adopted' since we sold our house there. We were all so happy to be back in France after 15 months absence, but DH especially so. We had a lovely day then he had a cardiac arrest in the early hours of the next day. If he had to go, it could not have been better for him,

Back home now and down to earth to deal with all the arrangements and paper work that inevitably follow a death.

Hope to be back sometime soon.

Oh M0nica how bittersweet for you. I hope you do get comfort from knowing your DH died where he was so happy. A terrible shock for you though. Take care of yourself, your arrangements will be even more complicated than most of us would have, and could be especially tiring. I hope you have plenty of practical as well as emotional support. x

What a terrible shock for you. Take care of yourself 💐💐💐

Condolences. X

Sorry for your loss. Thinking of you.

It will be some comfort that DH was in his 'happy place'...

The tumult of emotions that follow - the shock, the grief, and the dawning realisation that your life will never be quite the same again, can be overwhelming. Especially when there is so much practical stuff to deal with at the same time.

I hope you have the support you need from family - and friends. Take it, and allow yourself the space to grieve the while.

You are in my thoughts MOnica - frequently.

What a shock MOnica, but the fact he died after spending a good day in a favourite place will prove to be a comfort in the sad days ahead.

So many of us have been keeping you in our thoughts.

I agree with the sentiment shown M0nica your DH had a lovely day and quietly slipped away after enjoying doing what he loved and being with you ina very happy place for you both.
I know you will be very comforted by this when all the shock and trauma have lessened.

You will be very busy and overwhelmed in the coming days ,weeks and months but we shall be happy to see you back with us with your wisdom and reasoned posts when you are ready.

Sending you (((hugs))) M0nica and strength for the coming weeks 💐

💐 and sending virtual hug xx

Thank you for saying a little about what happened MOnica. I hope you can take some comfort in the way event unfolded as you move into what will be a difficult time. Sending love x

Sending love and support to you at this very difficult time.
Please take comfort that he was living his life to the full when he died in a place he loved.

What a mix of a tiny piece of happiness amongst all your sadness M0nica. I'm pleased your husband had many smiles on his last days in his happy place. Take care of youself.
Should you need any on the spot unofficial translating, just send me an email and I'll get straight back.

My sincere condolences and will be thinking of you especially today.

That must be some comfort to you MOnica that your DH had spent such a happy day with you in a place that he loved.
Thinking of you and hoping you have the love and support around you. 💐

Please take comfort that he was living his life to the full when he died in a place he loved.

Perfect words from Luckygirl3

So sorry. Just hold on and go on until the enormity of it has sunk in and some kind of adjustment can take place. Time is a slow burner but meanwhile take any comfort from family and friends. God bless.
