Hi my name is Mandy from JHB South Africa.
It has been 7months and two weeks since my beloved husband passed away. It was sudden and so unexpected. I was out of the country, and he called me to let me know that he was not feeling well, and I knew that something was not right; I could sense it. We were married for 28 years. Childhood sweethearts. He was playing tennis and collapsed. His tennis buddies rushed him to the ER, and they tried everything they could to save him. I was miles away, stuck in an airport, feeling helpless and traumatised. I had to fly back home, and it was the longest most horrendous flight of my life. The pain and sense of loss is a massive, gaping hole. He was my best friend, my soulmate. I feel so lost. How does one continue? I have my three adult children I am trying my best to help them cope as well. :( Thank you for creating this group
