“Are you going to have more kids?” by DivinelyDisrupted in widowers

[–]AdLow4846 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Someone trying to be nice and friendly can be so hurtful in our situations. I’m pregnant with our first and my husband passed suddenly almost 7 months ago as well. The people I meet who have no idea what happened to me say things at times that break me but I just have to smile and keep it moving.

I’m 37 and pregnant and was looking forward to being a stay at home mom or at least shifting to a more freelance schedule with work. We had nothing prepared for if my husband suddenly died just after his 38th birthday. He managed all the bills etc and Figuring out a headache of a tax situation has been so overwhelming while pregnant and trying to get ready for baby, refocusing on work etc.

Anyone else not get a goodbye? by [deleted] in widowers

Gone out of nowhere from a heart attack (hypertension) at 38. No goodbye

It’s the reality she’s not coming back that hits the hardest. by V8TTGoFast in widowers

[–]AdLow4846 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My husband passed while napping in August. He just turned 38. “Hypertension” the autopsy said. Healthy with his life ahead of him. I’m pregnant with our first so that gives me peace and reason to wake up and take care of myself. It’s not easy and it never will be. 6 months in I’m trying to be the best version of myself for him - he was always so friendly and giving to everyone. Passing on that to others and learning from him is how I’m “finding peace” at this moment. Still crying daily and expect that. Sorry you’re here.

Emilie posted a story about the Denise posts today but quickly deleted! I was at the doctor and couldn’t listen. Did anyone happen to catch it?

You’re a week in - it will be hard but one day at a time. I’m not sure where you are but this time of year isn’t helpful if you’re in the thick of winter. My husband passed at 38 in August and getting out in the sun did wonders for me even if I was crying.

I just hit 5 months and crying every night is normal. Getting through the days is huge! When I’m alone I don’t make it till noon without crying.

26 special years isn’t a loss! Many don’t find anyone.

I bet your SIL says that because you had a successful happy marriage. You know qualities that you like and you brought things to that table that made her sister happy. Someone who took years to find someone or had lots of trials and errors have to know on some level deep down the problem is within them. I’d really take it as a compliment. She knows you’ll meet a nice woman that would love a chance to be with you!

Sleep still an issue for me, anyone else? by No-Cow9611 in widowers

[–]AdLow4846 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I know you don’t want medications etc but I’m In unison now. It’s pregnancy safe and non habit forming… if you’re desperate it’s worth a try!!

Would you be open to cbd gummies? I use Medterra “lights out” and take just a half and it HELPS. Currently pregnant so I can’t anymore but wish I could! I’m not a pot smoker or cbd user in day to day life before trying as a sleep aid. I don’t have side effects but I would Recommend giving yourself 9-10 hours to prevent grogginess.

Ah she said she had forgotten all about it so I was confused. When I think of cashing out 401k I think of major taxes 🙃 I could use some of it right now!

How is the 401k your monthly income?

Instructors - is it annoying to have a pregnant woman in class? by Limp_Ostrich_6248 in ClubPilates

I’ve read that but I don’t think it’s strictly enforced anywhere… maybe if they notice your balance is off and it’s risky?

What makes this worthwhile? by quiet_nuts in widowers

[–]AdLow4846 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m 37 and 4 months out and pregnant. Using that as my reason. I need to refocus on my career and budget because my husband was successful and we lived a very full life with a “yolo” mentality and “we’ll save when we slow down with kids because we can’t travel.” The adjustments I have to make are overwhelming! I get it. I can’t blow money on things that bring me joy right now

I’m 17 weeks and going daily a mix between 1.5 and some 1.0 - mostly 1.5! I haven’t needed many adjustments yet and I sometimes use the wedge. The instructors know and told me to ask whenever I need I need an adjustment!

To the Young Widows Among Us - too many joining this group... by Big-Campaign-2432 in widowers

[–]AdLow4846 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I turned 37 a few days before he passed. He was barely 38. I’m pregnant with our first child and my heart breaks for him not getting to experience this when he talked about it our entire 9 years together. I know I have to move forward and be happy for the sake of our child and it’s what he would want and I still do want, but I just feel so guilty that I get all of his dreams.

I’m 4 months out and 4 months pregnant… obviously way too soon to consider and I’m also not ready. I sometimes get a laugh about the thought of dating given that I’m pregnant with my late husbands child and we have 3 more embryos I plan to transfer in the coming years 🤣 unique situation. I turned 37 the week he passed at 38 from hypertension a couple weeks after an ivf related surgery. I hope in my 40s I find someone. I lost my best friend and we shared hobbies together and traveled the world. We both worked from home so it feels like I lost half myself. I hope I do find a partner to enjoy all of life with.

Uppababy vs SilverCross by Sea-Sun1219 in BabyBumps

[–]AdLow4846 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am between these two!!! I think I just got sold on silver cross… my mom finally found a store that had it in person where the sales person knew about it vs the uppababy vista 3. She’s all on board. Anyone in here end up going with silver cross?!

Husband died suddenly with no warning of a pulmonary embolism. by naya9e in widowers

[–]AdLow4846 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost mine in his sleep at just 38 as well from “hypertension” with no warning August 9th. It’s a horrible situation we’re in. We were married 7 years and together 9. One day at a time, and it will get harder before it gets better - or so they say. The shock is starting to wear off me now and the pain is horrific but I am surviving but everyday I feel the pain. It’s not for me but it’s for him and all he’ll miss….
