My son-in-law just died.

[murielm99]

My daughter went to the house and found him. He had a heart attack. He was 52, she is 35. They had been together for a few years, but married less than two years.

He was a wonderful man, and they were perfect for each other. I am in the Midwest, and trying to get to Mass. as soon as possible. This is so unexpected and horrible.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. How awful! My condolences to you and your daughter.

[KMOD]

2. Oh, I am so very sorry.

That's way too young. Hugs and love to you, and your daughter.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

3. I'm so sorry.

I know (from being a licensed funeral director) that first there is a lot of shock (obviously), and then confusion. But go slow, there is no rush in making arrangements, and coming to terms with this new reality. I'm so sorry, find strength, and if you have some to spare share it with others, and you and your family will pull through and heal together. Sorry for your loss.

murielm99.

[laundry_queen]

13. Oh, I'm so sorry

What a shock for your daughter. The same thing happened to my aunt and her husband - she found him. He left her with 2 small children. This may be premature, but when the shock wears off, grief support groups helped my aunt tremendously.

Huge hugs to you and your family during this difficult time.

[chillfactor]

14. my husband died of a massive heart attack when he was 42...

my thoughts and prayers are with your daughter and your family...some tough days, weeks, and months ahead...it took me a year to recover from the horrific loss...

[murielm99]

20. I was a widow at 27,

and remarried at 30. I know how hard these things are. It is no less of a shock this time. I hope my experience can help her.

Thank you, and everyone else in this thread for your condolences.

[LittleBlue]

15. He probably didn't even know he'd died

My condolences to your family.

[Ghost in the Machine]

[sheshe2]

18. I just lost two as well.

Tears. I am so sorry for your loss, your daughters as well. You are in my thoughts.

[villager]

24. You lost two!? Condolences to you as well, SheShe2...

Take care.

[sheshe2]

25. I cry with you, villager.

So sorry. Be well.

[villager]

43. Oh... I was replying to your statement that you'd "lost two!"

Two at once?

I've had a pretty good year after losing my dad in 2013 (more or less expected, but still...) and then nearly losing my mom (completely unexpected) a couple of weeks later...

She, luckily, is on the mend (though minus one leg now!)

So having almost lost two-at-once, I can feel for ya. If I'm reading your own statement right...!

[sheshe2]

46. Within a little over a week...

Then we buried my dad the Friday before Thanksgiving lost my BIL Thanksgiving eve. Still not over it villager.

Best to you and yours. It will be a hard trip.

Hugs.

[villager]

70. I can only imagine, sheshe, having *almost* lost two within a month...

We don't get over those things easily.

But one step/day at a time helps...

Be well.

[sheshe2]

21. I am so sorry for your loss and my heart

breaks whilst you and your daughter cope with this tragedy.

I also lost my son-in-law due to depression! I wish both of us and our families can hang in thee.

My son-in-law was a son to me and I loved him dearly. I am so sorry for your loss!

[villager]

22. Condolences seem so inadequate at times like this. Especially for something so out-of-left-field.

Nonetheless, you and your family have them.

Take care.

[a la izquierda]

[murielm99]

53. Thank you everyone.

[mnhtnbb]

54. I am so sorry for your loss and the sudden, horrible shock for your daughter.

Hope you can make arrangements to get to your daughter easily. She will
be needing all the support she can get.

We had a friend who dropped dead of a massive heart attack when he was 49--an ER doc--
working out at a hotel. Two surgeons were working out next to him, so he had CPR before
he was even on the floor, to no effect. So, sometimes, there is just nothing that can be done.
Don't let your daughter beat herself up with "maybe if I'd been there" kind of thinking.

I am so, so sorry for you and your family.

[Surya Gayatri]

55. Courage to face this trial...sympathy to all the family.

[My Good Babushka]

56. How awful

and so sad. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[Scuba]

57. Hugs.

[DFW]

58. How horrible for you! My deepest sympathies.

That was almost me. I came within a few hours of dying of a heart attack at 52. Dumb luck saved me, as I didn't know how close I was. That was 11 years ago. I can't imagine not having lived these past 11 years, so I can well empathize with the two of you, and know full well what your son in law lost.

[mike dub]
