Widowed at 27, with a 6 week old baby.

I lost the LOVE OF MY LIFE💔

I lost my husband in a tragic accident 2 months ago. He just turned 28. Together since 15, my best friend and soul mate. We were so happy and inlove. I have no regrets as we were so natural and real together, nothing that wasn't shared.

I am in survival currently, somehow coping and 'doing' each day. I know I need to be a happy mama to be a good mama for our boy. He'd want that and I want to make him proud. I have a lifetime ahead to grieve my husband.

The future feels scary and unknown without him. Financially I'll be okay, I worry more about raising our son without him though (emotionally). If anyone has experience on raising a son without a dad I'd love to hear tips on how you supported your child.

Luckily I love to document life, and have videos and pictures of him, also with his son in the early weeks which is a gift to have and share with our son.

I thought I knew heartbreak until I lost the love of my life. I thought I loved roadtrips and rivers until I realized I loved road trips and rivers with him by my side... life is sadly unfair.
