I'm so sorry, Pintobean.
Take your time, all you need.
You've told the people who need to know for now. The rest will learn it when the time is right.

I highly recommend asking a close friend to share the news with your other friends and family to take that burden off of you. When my dad died unexpectedly, the thought of making any phone calls made me physically ill. Take care of yourself first and don't give a shit about other people's expectations. I'm so sorry this happened.

Oh my gosh, PB, I'm so very sorry to hear about your husband. I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. I'm glad you have people with you, and PSers are always here for you, too.

You are in my thoughts. Sending loads of strength and healing dust your way.

Sorry is such a small word, PB, but we are all so sorry for your loss. You must be so shocked and heartbroken. I agree that others can make the calls for you. Prayers your way.

My heart breaks for you. You are probably in shock and in survival mode, feeling as though you are watching yourself from the outside. I hope you are surrounded by people who love you and will help ease this burden. Sending hugs and healing thoughts your way although I'm sure at this point there aren't enough in the universe to make a difference.

Tell people when you're ready, and don't stress about when that is.
Perhaps tell one key person who can contact many others for you.
You can pass on the request for no phone calls or texts.
Take control and make your wishes known, instead of feeling helpless in face of social obligations.

When you eventually do tell someone, you could just add something like, "I would have told you sooner, but dealing with this has been overwhelming."

Oh. God.
My stomach is... somewhere beside my kneecap reading this. There just aren't words - or even emotions - I'm so sorry. I'm so, SO sorry.
Your loved ones will be here for you and we will be here for you. Today, whilst the shock numbs you.
Tomorrow, when it wears off. And the day after, the week after, in the months to come.
You will survive this. One day at a time. That's the only thing you have to worry about - you, one day at a time.

Oh Pintobean, I'm so so sorry to hear this - please don't worry about other people's feelings right now, you've got bigger things to think about. They'll understand and if they don't, they can take their issues elsewhere. When my dad does, also unexpectedly in a road accident, my mum couldn't face telling people so we did it for her. People understood - you've just suffered a horrific loss. Let your friends and family be there for you and focus on you. My heart is breaking for you.

Oh sweetheart this is awful news to hear and my heart goes out to you. There's no right way way process something like this. Contacting his family sounds difficult do you have someone who could help you ?

Pinto I've been thinking of you since reading this earlier today. Is there anything we can do? I agree with @Tekate that I wish I could put my contact info here in case you need anything.

If any other PSers are able, I'd love to donate to a fund to bring meals to @PintoBean during this difficult time. So if anyone has her contact info and is able to start something like that please let me know.

So many hugs and good wishes to you Pinto

Pintobean, there are no words…I am in shock, and I cannot even fathom how you are feeling. Don't worry about notifying anybody else, you are dealing with a devastating trauma, and I am so glad you are not alone. To say I'm sorry is woefully inadequate, my thoughts are with you and we are here for you whenever you need us.
