On the early morning of July 4th, 2024.
My husband Bill Hamblin, passed away unexpectedly. He died by suicide. Leaving behind his daughter, his son, my 3 son's & his grandson whom he loved dearly.
A little bit of his back story, he was working at his job & got sick internally & physcially unexpectedly, so he then went on disability through his company. He had life insurance before going on his long term disability at work, but since he was no longer working he couldn't afford insurance anymore.My husband went into a depression not being able to work and provide for his family like he was use to. We barely got by paying our bills & making ends meets so that in itself was a stressful situation. He couldn't get out of the house anymore due to him being so sick so that was depressing for him as well being stuck in the house 24/7 after being use to do all the things he loved to do prior to his illness. Bill also had brain complications going on at the time of this tragedy.
It's officially been 28 days & I have not been able to lay my husband to rest since we didn't have insurance to cover any funeral expenses. The cheapest option for me is cremation & I unfortunately don't have the funds. The morge told me if I didn't have the money for my husband's ashes paid for then they were gonna take his body to a land fill & dump it to let the buzzards eat his body. That is the most sick & inhumane and downright disgusting thing I've ever been told. It made me so sick I could throw up. What kind of person could do such a thing? My husband deserves better. I'm asking If you could donate even just $1 every bit adds up and anything at all would be extremely appreciated, even if it's just a prayer for my family & I as we grieve through this excruciating hard time. There's no words to describe the pain & empty void I feel every single day. Even if you can only share this post, please do!
My husband is no longer suffering, but now my heart is hurting & a piece of me will be missing forever. Mental health matters.. Men's mental health matters and I pray for anyone battling severe depression. I'm here if anyone needs to talk or has any questions for me. Thank you for taking the time to read. And thank you in advance for any help. Hold your loved one's close & make sure they know they are loved! Life is truly too short and your whole world can change in the blink of an eye, because mine sure did. I pray Jesus continues to give me the strength I desperately need. Have a blessed night everyone.
