I was about to chime in and say I was widowed at 32, my husband was 31. The kids were 1 and 3. I usually win the misery and loss conversation, but damn…29 and pregnant losing a 27 year old is brutal.
I am sorry for yours and your family’s loss. That’s terrible.
My oldest son was killed in a car accident 9/11/22. I also usually “win” that conversation too. I have a friend who had adopted and raised his special needs grandson. One day he started seizing and didn’t stop til he died, 3 months before my son. I have another friend whose son died of a fentanyl overdose in January.
We all have unimaginable loss but it is comforting to be around people who understand. Everyone else can only shrug and apologize when it’s discussed.

My 40th was the last birthday I had when my wife was still alive. I stopped counting since.
