He is my soulmate, the love of my life! We were so excited to be parents. He was looking forward to feeling her kick, to holding her, to being a daddy. I can't believe this is real. It feels like a dream I will wake up from. Please God may it be a nightmare and I wake up to him snoring his head off.

How do I do this? What do I do? His daughter is only going to know him from photos. I am going to miss him all the years of my life. I'm 38 and I just lost my everything.

Hi Belangalo,I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My Dad passed away recently when I was 11 weeks pregnant, so can understand what you are going through.

Dealing with bereavement whilst pregnant is tough, allow yourself time to grieve and please speak to your midwife and family when you are struggling.

If you need to talk, I am here.

Take time to look after yourself.

Xx

What do I do and where do I start? I can't sleep, I feel sick and he is gone. I'm alone. My mum and sister are here but I am now alone. I lost my beloved soulmate! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Essence1 in reply to Belangalo

Hi Belangalo,I know it is hard, the loss is still very recent so do not expect yourself to comes to terms with it immediately. Take it moment by moment and do not expect too much from yourself.

Try to focus on the good times you had with your husband and what he would say to you now.

If you cannot sleep please speak to you doctor or midwife, very important you get some extra support and care to look after yourself and the little one.

Xx

I have diazepam from my FS to take to sleep now and baby is doing just fine. I can't lose her, it would kill me. She is all that is stopping me from following my husband. She is a part of him and he would be so mad if I didn't take care of her after all we went through to get her. I am terrified of raising her alone and terrified something will happen to her. I've already prayed that if God takes her, he needs to take me at the same time to be with my beloved James and our baby. I don't know how I'm going to get through this.

How can I take care of myself. My husband was taking care of me 😭 I can't believe I won't see him again, hold him again, talk to him, laugh with him. His daughter will never know him. I can't wrap my head around it!!! It just can't have happened!!

in reply to Belangalo

Hi there, if you are interested, there is a woman named Emily Cave who lost her husband last year very tragically and suddenly, she is publicly active on Instagram and speaks out a lot about her grief. There are other widows who also connect with each other for support, I noticed on her page. There is a woman named Ellidy Pullin who is having her deceased partner’s baby soon, too. He was a former Olympic athlete and died while spear fishing very suddenly. I am so sorry again and I hope you are able to find some support from these women or others like them.

Im so sorry for your awful loss so cruel when you had your future to look forward together as a family. 🥲I can't imagine how you must be feeling to lose your life partner especially after such a difficult journey to get pregnant this should be such a happy time for you 🥲

I lost my daughter at 20 weeks pregnant and the grief was overwhelming- but with proper support and time I am learning to live with the loss of Amelia for our toddler I managed to keep going and you will somehow find the strength for your precious daughter.

Grief is such as difficult process especially when it's such an unexpected loss and I hope you have family and friends with you. Xx

Belangalo in reply to Jess1981

My parents and sister are here. I can't accept it. He's just going to walk through the door. He can't be dead! We didn't have enough time! I don't know what to do without him! How can I do this...I can barely roll off the sofa!

Jess1981 profile image
Jess1981 in reply to Belangalo

It is just so awful I am so sorry, I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now. 🥲But I am so glad that you have your parents and sister with you so important you are not alone. Of course you can't accept it it's far too early days to accept the loss of your soul mate🥲. Grief has many stages - denial, shock, devastation, anger and finally acceptance. I'm 9 months since I lost my daughter I'm still in the shock-devastation and anger stage. When my Aunt and Uncle lost their son unexpectedly at 18 years old they reckon their grief shock stage lasted 10 years. Right now you do what is right for you- if you want to be on the sofa that's ok. The unexpected deaths are the hardest to process they are such a huge shock and that shock will take some time to process. Your daughter will be healing to you and a beautiful reminder of him ❤️ Right now it's one day at time Xx

I can't accept it. It hasn't sunk in. I can't do this...the long years of my life without him. His daughter not knowing him. All my plans and dreams featured him!

I can't seem to process the enormity of the loss. Everywhere I look his stamp is on the home we built together. My mother cleaned away his shoes because he isn't going to need them and I ache seeing them and remembering he isn't going to use them! I can't. I just can't. What do I do without him? I have years ahead of me without him. His daughter is going to grow up without him. I can't even comprehend that! He was so excited to be a daddy! His father split when he was a kid so he was determined to be the best father...now he is gone.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I am so devastated for you, my love. Your unexpected natural pregnancy has been a joyful, uplifting thought to me at many points over the past few months and I've been so happy for you and your husband. I can't put into words the shock and sadness I feel for you. As FrancyItaly has said, he's left you with an incredible gift though. Your daughter will be a beautiful reminder of him.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking and praying for you and your daughter xxx

Belangalo in reply to soccerkt6

I am supposed to be sleeping because it is 3:30am here but I just can't. It feels like a dream I'll wake up from. I can't wrap my head around it. He left our home in a body bag...his last trip out of our door was wheeled in a black bag. I just can't...I left him sleeping because he could sleep the night before. I should have checked in on him instead of expecting him to come downstairs when he woke up. I thought he was sleeping a long time. I can't wrap my head around any of it. He was just teasing and laughing with me and now he is gone. It has to be a nightmare.

soccerkt6 profile image
soccerkt6 in reply to Belangalo

Oh love, I wish I could give you a big hug. This is anyone's nightmare and you're doing so so well just to be muddling through each moment. You were being a sweet, loving partner by letting him get some more sleep. What matters at the end of the day is that you were looking out for him and you can't fault yourself for that.

Sending you so much love xxx

Belangalo in reply to soccerkt6

In 24 hours my world has shattered and all my dreams and plans are dust because they were built around him. I can't believe he is gone. I keep expecting him to walk through the door. How do I do all the long years or my life without him?! His daughter is going to grow up without her daddy being there for her! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thank you. I need help. I don't know how I can go in without him. He was my forever. We had so many plans and now my world is shattered and unrecognisable! He is never going to hold his daughter. I live in our home with him everywhere! I don't even know half of the maintenance to do on it. I am dying but my heart is still beating. I don't know what to do. My God, I am so lost without him.

Oh honey… I am so sad for you. I did many support groups with women who lost their spouse, so I can envision your pain. Who are you current supports for when you are feeling down- I think you mentioned your mom and sister are at your home. Can you talk to them. Also I would suggest a support group when you are ready. I’m so sorry Belangalo.

I am heartbroken reading this. I am so so sorry for your loss, my heart really truly goes out to you. I remember not sleeping for two nights after my mum passed. All you can do is focus on yourself and your baby and try to figure out how to get through the next hour. Don't worry about next week or next month, just take it hour by hour.

He will be with you forever in your daughter.

Sending so much love xx

I am so sorry Belangalo, what an unbelievable tragedy, my heart breaks for you, your baby and your extended family. Life can be so cruel and nonsensical. I hope you have managed to get some sleep. I second the suggestion of some medication if you feel you need some immediate help with sleep/distress, you must feel like you are going out of your mind. I'm glad you have your family with you but I am just so sorry that that this has happened to you long before you should have had to say goodbye. I am sending you strength, courage and love to get through these awful first days and beyond xxx

Dear Belangalo,

I read your story and I am so sorry. Mine is not similar to yours but I lost my father a couple weeks before knowing I was infertile. Everyone is different and copes different with the pain of loss. It is hard, even years after. It is been 2 years and I have just stopped crying daily. Going to a psychologist a couple months ago, helped me. At the start I used to hate people telling me to give it time. Time helps to make your life bigger to have more memories, but the pain will be there. In my case, i was sad and angry by the plans that won't be, the memories that I won't have and the fact I did not have closure. I am working on that but I feel better now. Something that helped me was to think that i needed to live, because if I saw him again, I would have to tell him all the stories and stuff that he missed. It might sound silly, but for me it helped. I send you a hugh and my support at the distance.

try2020 in reply to Belangalo

It is some kind of hell you are in just now, I remember that feeling after my Dad died of forgetting for a brief moment and then the crush of remembering. My heart goes out to you. Nothing can comfort but time will continue to pass and will take you and your baby with it on this journey. Sending you lots of love xxx

Jessy1280 profile image

I am so so sorry to read this. It is important you take time to process this and grieve. I strongly recommend you seek counselling. You need that level of support from a professional that sadly your family may not be able to offer you. Sometimes it helps to speak to an outsider.

We lost my Dad when I was 6 years old and my mum just 33. My dad was 38. My brothers 2 and 8 at time. Counselling wasn't really a thing in the 80s but I know looking back each of us would've benefited enormously from this.

Just try to look after yourself and the little one. I am so sorry that we can't take away your pain. We're all here for you xxx

Am so so sorry for what you are going through and all your pain. I know is not easy but please try and take care of yourself for your baby girl because she needs her mama to be okay too and your husband will want you to take care of yourself and be okay too. It will never be the same again in your life but in time you will find away to move on and be happy for your daughter. Life is so cruel sometimes sending you and your baby girl all the love and hugs. Thanks to your mother and sister for being there with you.

Sweethear in reply to Belangalo

That is so true she will mis out on a lot of things but she got you and the rest of the family to help her and tell tell her about her dad she is going to be ok because she got such a strong mother like you and an Angel 😇 as a dad watching over both of you. My Dad was kidnapped on the 24th of August 2010 and brutally killed and fond in the bush after paying Ransom on the 30th of August 2010 their is nothing to compare the pain I thought I will die because he was everything to me but somehow I saved it and am getting stronger everyday leaving without him and it gets easier as time goes on. So I understand what you’re going through nothing will take the pain away for now but time and positive thinking. Sending you all the strength and love that you will need to move forward

I honestly was cry😭😭😭😭 when reading your story because it touches my heart but from my heart I have prayed all this prayer for you and I pray God will answer all of this prayer for you because there is no amount of word can bring him back but God himself will fill his place for you and give you the strength you need to carry on. I wish you absolutely nothing but the very best forever. Amen and Amen IJN

Thank you for this. I keep praying and I keep living this nightmare. If it weren't for the baby they'd be bursting two of us. I don't want to be without him.

You are much stronger than you think you are.

You’ll have a lot of thoughts going through your head now. Just express your thoughts with your mom and sis. It’s very important.

Your daughter will be a very strong girl and so will you in bringing her up.

Take one day at a time.

Don’t hesitate to request for any support from midwife or doctor. Everyone will be very understanding and will consider your situation and support you as best as possible.

Take care.

Oh hun, I read your post and tears came up. I am SO SORRY you lost the love of your life. It’s SO UNFAIR. SO SO SO UNFAIR. You must be in utter disbelief, asking yourself ‘why’. Life is SO SHIT sometimes, we are unable to understand why things are happening the way they do. Death is something we cannot comprehend 💔it takes EVERYTHING from us, leaving us alone and broken. Take time to be angry, to cry, to shout…..allow the pain to surface, you’re entitled to it!! But don’t forget that LIFE is inside you 💖your precious daughter 💖she has a mummy that loves her with all her heart and will tell her everything about her dad 💖her dad will be in both your hearts….and I know it’s not the same and it’s SO UNFAIR but the love of your life, your partner and her daddy will always be in your hearts! NOONE and NOTHING will EVER take that away from you!!!!!Sending the biggest hug to you, please do reach out to me if you want to talk. 💖

Lots of love xxxx

The days get worse. I wake up and remember that I am now alone and the most wonderful husband that loved me is gone and never coming home to me or our little one. I cancelled the deluxe birth suit that accommodates couples to bond with baby. I'm not a couple anymore so don't need the reminder of a huge double bed. I'm going to bring our daughter home on Christmas eve...by myself.

My mother is pretty much moving in with me. I know I need the help and I can't be alone. Dad will be here all the time as well. My husband's mother is coming from across country to stay with me and I ache to hold her because she is a part of my husband.

How do I feel? Still disbelief. Still shock and the pain that hits at times makes me scream and cry. If I am honest, I have had dark thoughts of following him but baby binds me. She deserves the best chance I can give her. My beloved and I were so excited and wanted to raise her a particular way and now that's my responsibility. Time sped by with my husband, I never felt we had enough time to love each other. Now that he is gone...the years ahead of me look so long and so bleak that I really would rather not.

We have two amazing large dogs that were hubby's pride and joy. His babies and they adored him! They are now my babies and I love them and need to do right by them. So...I have a lot of agonising years ahead of me without him.

How do I move ahead when my life has shattered into something unrecognisable? I ache for him and for the past so much it scares me. I need to focus on the baby but all I can think about is my husband and how much it hurts to be without him. Please tell me how to change my mindset. I am desperate.

I'm just so broken-hearted for you, reading these messages Belangalo. Life can play the cruellest of tricks. As if you hadn't gone through enough 💔 I don't have words to make it better, nobody does. But I'm so glad those around you are sheltering you and supporting you. They will hold you up and help you, always, and over time it will get more bearable. Things will never be the same, and you know that, BUT when your baby is here you will make a new life, with your lovely dogs too, and your relatives and friends. You will never forget him and as others have said, he will follow you along your next journey, through your memories and through the piece of him that will live on through your precious daughter. It isn't the same, and it isn't fair, I know. It won't seem like it now, maybe not for a long time, but the days WILL begin to get a little better. Your utter shock screams out across this webpage, as it would for all of us: to lose someone with no warning, in the midst of such a happy time, must just knock you sideways. Your poor mind is struggling to understand what cannot be understood. But the grief will change, one painful day at a time, until the joy begins to shine through again. And for you, this joy will come from the little one you are carrying. Perhaps it doesn't even feel it now, in all this heartache, but you carry such a precious gift, and you will go on, at first for her, and then later, for you too - life will open up again for you, I am sure💖. Right now though, all you can do is get through each day. That's the only goal you need to set yourself. The little things: eat; wash; sleep; cry; talk about how you are feeling; reach out to those around you. This is a time for functioning, not for thriving, a time to ride the storm until some light appears again. Sending you so many hugs and praying for you all xxx
