John, I'm so sorry for the reason you are here. I hope you can come to find solace here like so many of us have. On 11/5/11 I woke up to find my husband had died in his sleep, they ruled it a heart attack. Like you I was on the phone with 911 attempting CPR, but I knew there was no hope, my husband was cold and blue when I found him. He died the day before our 12 year anniversary, we had been together 16 years. This group has literally saved me and I have learned to smile again, even through the tears. Treat yourself gently and come here often and know that we "get it". Hugs to you.

Also, just reading others' posts can be helpful, and just writing your feelings can be...knowing that we can hear what you have to say, we understand the feelings....also, did you notice there is a private discussion group for LGBT widow/ers?  Join the groups that appeal to you, on here, they have them by decade you were born, suddenly widowed, etc. I hope this place gives you some solace and companionship in the days and months ahead.  I lost my beloved about 15 months ago.  I am still reeling, but it does get easier, somehow, to get through the days.

Oh, John, I am so sorry for your terrible loss.  Bless your heart, trying so hard to save him.  I am so sorry you have to be here, but glad you found this site.  We will be here for you as you negotiate this painful journey.  reach out, in chat, by blogs or just connect with those you feel you can talk with.  My heart goes out to you.  The first months are terribly hard, and also somehow numb.  Take really good care of yourself.  Do you have people nearby who are being supportive?  I wish you healing.
