So glad to have found this site. Have been taking care of the love of my life for some time now. He passed away March 30.
My Dr has been monitoring a heart murmur. Saw him Thurs.
He is suggesting surgery soon. Wanted to give me up to 6 months. My grief has mimicked the symptoms. Loss of energy, heart palpations, upper back pain. Trouble working out.
Have decided to schedule surgery for end of Jan if possible.
Reading all of these stories. Need the help of folks going through same thing.
Step one-commit to surgery!

Cathy Zuber Hang in there..losing our life's companion is rough. I have been a widow for 11 years. We always kidded he would die of a "first heart attack". He died from colon cancer. Now I have a new Mitral valve. And yes, I did miss him. The care of family and friends keeps us going. Prayers, too.

Anna Jones Hi Sue, I am so very sorry for the loss of your love. The grief journey is very individual and takes a long time to complete. Please be very gentle and patient with yourself. Try to remember to eat and drink water. If you think it will help, talk to a grief counselor. There are also bereavement groups on line, at church, at meetups, and at Hospice, that can help.
I'm so sorry that you are facing surgery on top of all else. I am at the same point as you. Right now I am trying to choose a hospital and a surgeon.
Please keep us posted and ask any questions you have.
Sending best wishes.
