He was on vacation with his family, caught pneumonia and he died.
He was in his early 60s and healthy as a horse.
He has been part of our lives for so long, I feel like I've been punched in the gut.
DH is devastated and I can't stop thinking about the doctor. He helped so many people, saved lives, and was looking forward to retirement and now he's gone. My heart aches for his family.
My dad's oncologist died last year and it was weirdly personal to me and my stepmom. My stepmom wrote a long letter to his widow about the impact her husband had on our lives. She really appreciated it and it was cathartic for all of us, especially his wife who has become a dear friend since.
Can you work with your dh to come up with a letter to his wife that relates how much he meant to you?
