Grief Overwhelming - 08/27/13 12:08 AM
My name is Jenny, I discovered my husbands affair 17 days ago. This is my story.
I am a young (31) physician, my husband (35) is also a physician, we work at the same hospital, but are on opposite shifts, we did this so that one of us would be able to be at home with our 3 month old twins.
August 10/13 was my shift to work, so my husband was at home, I finished probably about 30 min earlier than usual and headed home - so happy to have a tiny but of extra time with my husband. When I pulled up the lights were out (unusual, because normally he leaves at least one on for me) I figure him and the twins were sleeping. When I came inside the light above the stove was on, I walked upstairs and the babies door was closed and our bedroom door was closed, but you could see the nightlight on from under the door, I opened it and my husband was in mid act with another woman - an X-ray tech from our hospital. I didn't say anything just stared, they both jumped up and scrambled for clothes. I asked where the twins were, he said sleeping, I just remember back out and going down the hall to my daughters room, when I went in Rachel was on her back, just starting to wake, but Rebecca was on her stomach, I touched her and she was stiff, I starte screaming and screaming - they both came running in, he started doing CPR, but I knew in my heart she was gone.
So in 17 days, I discovered my husband in an active affair, and my daughter is dead. The grief is over powering, I can't eat or sleep but I don't want to be awake.
