My entire life has crumbled

r/

My infant daughter died suddenly in February. My dad was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer last month. Tonight, my husband asked for a divorce. I am so sad. I started this year with everything I could have ever wanted and barely 9 months in, I have nothing. My heart is so broken.

    Honestly girl, tell your husband to kick rocks. That you don’t have time or energy for a divorce right now. He’s an asshole for suggesting it right now. If he wants to pursue a separate life without you fine. He can move out and find a place but that you won’t be changing anything about your life while the shit hit the fan with your dad. The least that he can do for you is to wait for all the legal shit so you can spend whatever time you have left with your dad.

    Op, I am truly sorry. I am sending you my heartfelt condolences on your baby’s passing and a virtual hug to keep you strong through these trials and tribulations. I don’t know why you are going through so much at once, I don’t know the meaning of these events in your life, but I wanted you to know in the vastness of the internet, a stranger who has experienced similar devastation has the deepest empathy for you and wishes you to have the support and strength you need.

    LONG Internet hugs! “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Got me through a lot.

    I’m sorry for your loss. It might help to speak to a grief counselor.

    I am so very sorry. Just one of these could be overwhelming And paralyzing. Do you have anyone to talk to?
    Are you in counseling or therapy for the loss of your daughter?

    Losing a child is the most horrible thing a mom can go through. I understand your pain.

    I’m so sorry that you’re going through so much all at once. I know you’re feeling so overwhelmed right now. Grieve the loss of your precious baby. Spend as much time with your dad as you can. Tell your husband to move out and you’ll deal with divorce when you have the emotional strength to do so. And the divorce is the last thing to deal with. I wish there was something I can do and say to help you. Just remember your strong and will survive.

    OMG, you have enough going on to break any strong person. Take a day for grieving. Yes, it will take longer than that. But give yourself at least a day. Take some time every day to grieve then keep going.

    Your husband is the biggest AH I’ve ever heard of. Did you have any hint of this coming?

    Contact support groups to help with losing a child. These are for others parents who have also lost children abruptly. This may give you some comfort to speak with other parents who have gone through this tragedy.

    Also look for support groups on glioblastoma. You’ll find support and help through the contacts you’ll make.

    Take time for you, too. Don’t try to do too much or take on too much. Don’t be shy about reaching out for help. You are only one person and close to your breaking point. Positive thoughts coming your way.

    One day at a time.

    I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. You will be in my prayers 🙏 Let go and Let God. I did and saved my life. Seriously. Prayer works you just have to put in the work. I’m so sorry. 😭 😭 Good luck to you and yours.

    That’s entirely too much all at once for a person to have to take. But, life is just random and there is no script. I’m very sorry that you are going through this and that your husband is incredibly selfish. As another commenter stated, tell him to kick rocks and to not expect anything from you for the foreseeable future.

    Really good idea, tell your husband to chill, so you can get your bearings you have to much going on right now, he should understand. Life comes at you fast, but the divorce can wait a minute, if there was ever love, he would understand.

    Give him that divorce and tell him at least his future partner might mean it when they say “for better or for worse.” What an asshole. I am so sorry.

    Can you go to a therapist? What you are going through can make any person go into deep depression. I’m sorry.
