We had to tell my dad that we were expecting his 1st grandchild when doctors had given up on him after 'routine' by-pass surgery. Telling him in a SICU during a drug-induced coma wasn't what we planned.
Such a difficult time, indeed. Hopefully, you and especially your wife can get through these coming weeks and manage to experience some of the joy that you were expecting.
nicest way I could think of to partially express myself. 20 strangers who don't really care saying "sorry" doesn't really help either :/ if someone dying suddenly and too early(63) is really that sad/terrible compared to the rest of your life, I think you're doing alright and should act accordingly. not that you shouldn't care, but it's not the end of the world by any means. no one lives forever, and there are millions, or maybe billions, who really have it rough
I hope no one takes this the wrong way, though I'm sure some will
My condolences. I guess a consolation can be found that it certainly sounds like it was something sudden and relatively/completely painless. I've gone through the heart-wrenching experience of watching people suffer for months and years with long-running illnesses, and while it's somewhat comforting to be able to say goodbyes, it's an overall horrible experience to witness and be part of.
