I know I don't post much but have been here since the onset and lurked on the old board for years. We lost my Dad on December 19. He was 86 but it was still sudden. My husband and I went to NOVA (Loudoun Co. VA) and spent the day with our son, DIL and granddaughter Avery. Had a wonderful day, the drive back was great (about 2-1/2 hrs). Got home around 8:05 and had been here about 10 minutes when he started complaining of extreme abdominal pain. It got much worse, he went and laid across the bed and I was really concerned something really bad was wrong and called 911. They got here in about 6 minutes and did all they could possibly do but he was gone in minutes. Abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was only 68 and we have been married 40 years. I am as heartbroken as I have ever been in my life. Our wonderful kids are here with me. Thanks for listening to me ramble.
UPDATE: I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart; all your replies have meant so much. Today was a busy day going to the funeral home and making arrangements, florist, etc. He was an organ donor and they let us know today what they were able to use. Eyes, tissue, bones, heart (for research) and others I hope will come back to me later. I am so glad and proud he was able to help others even after he is gone. I will update again later. Thank you again.

I am so very sorry for your losses. Two losses in such a short amount of time. That's a lot to process. Be gentle with yourself. Take time to heal. If you need it, therapy is a good way to process the emotions that you're going through. ((HUGS))
