Hi, my name is Robin
I live in Washington
While traveling from Wa to Ca on July 21,2020 at 2:30 pm my best friend and husband of 30 years died of Cardiopulmonary collapse caused by a pulmonary embolism at only 65.
There are no words to describe the struggles of the past year. David and I built a large family 3 boys and 3 girls. Our youngest child turned 18 one month after loosing his father and started his senior year of high school. Our middle daughter started her senior year of nursing school. The children and I endured two graduations this year without him…
Together, David and I raised 6 children, cared for our adult disabled daughter and ran a business. Now it is just me…

Hi Robin,
I am very sorry to hear about what you have been through.
I think the scale of the disaster becomes more apparent as time goes on. It took me months to begin to realize that my own loss, was no ordinary loss, it was a different beast to anything I had experienced before. As the months passed, new negative impacts kept revealing themselves. I suppose that the store of all of the bad stuff will run out some day, when, I do not know, but what I have read is that it does happen.
I think the timing of your loss might be a bitter blow, as mine was. A lifetime of effort winding down, and the plans to finally relax a bit and enjoy the rewards together, suddenly taken away. I have spent a lot of time ruminating on this bit, but the best I could do with it, is the thought that the timing would be bitter whenever it happened. I hope you will find a way to enjoy some of those rewards, despite what has happened. I hope to be able to do this myself, since my own partner would certainly want me to have the fullest life possible.
