My wife suddenly died next to me after 40 WONDERFUL years of marriage

I have lost two husbands. Both died right before our 25th wedding anniversary,
My first husband died from lung cancer while in our 40s. I eventually remarried and just lost my husband at age 81. He had a cardiac cath and the doctor punctured his LAD. He died the next day. I never got to tell him goodbye or how much I loved him.
I do not think either is easier. It is hard watching someone die slowly or someone dying so suddenly without a chance to say goodbye.
It is 9 months since his death and I am doing better. I live in a senior apartment so have friends and events here.
My thoughts are with you. Eileen

@eileen11108 I honestly can't imagine what you went through in losing two husbands. In many ways, I do feel blessed in that my wife passed away peacefully. She was in the medical field, and I have no doubt that is the way she would have wanted it to happen. I am glad to hear you are doing better and continue to do so. It all just takes time. Be well and thank you. Ed
