(21,103 posts)I lost my husband of 36 years in 2022.
I found myself looking at his death cert. the other day.
He died a cruel and very sad death due to vascular dementia, a problem he was diagnosed with in Feb. 2022. He fell and broke his hip in May of 2022 and he died a few days later as he could not breathe or swallow.
I don't know what to do with myself.
I've gone through a lot of money before and after his death as the whole thing was a frightening and pricey nightmare.
I'll never get over it, never.
I wish you peace in your life if you can find it.
I will also caution you as there are people out there that prey on people like us, elderly widows and widowers.
I'm glad you have someone with you.
I've been alone through this whole process for the past 2-1/2 years.
I find myself to be a somewhat confused wreck as I watch my world crumble around. Being disabled and alone with no help just makes matters worse as I was not prepared for his death at all. He was 85 years old when he died.
Take care of yourself, number one as they say.
