Yes it’s all fucking shit :face_holding_back_tears::sob::exploding_head:

How was the return to work? I plan to go back in 2 weeks, I hope i’ll be ok! think it’s time to try and sort a routine. I just know its going to be so sad not having Andrew checking in on my day as he would always text ā€œdid you get to work ok babesā€ ā€œcan’t wait to get home for a snuggleā€ ā€œmy dinner was lush thanks love youā€

Oh @Willow112
Please dont apologise.
Its obvious that us affected by it think about it.
But don’t mention it for fear of being laughed at, or misunderstood.
Its hard to explain unless its happening to you.

Does this make any sense at all?

Big hugs x x

Yes wishing your life away! I think it’s a coping strategie. As time passes it will get easier. I can sleep pretty good at the moment I got something from the chemist and it really knocks me out after about an hour, it’s such a relief having better sleep. I still get up silly early but think that’s because I go to work early and Andrew used to set it at 4.45am.

Your doing really well and seem to be positive. Have faith and be gentle on yourself, you’ll start your new life when your ready :sparkling_heart:xx

What a lovely little community. I said this recently on another post that it’s a amazing that we are all having a terrible time but we can still support one another! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Totally agree. Xxxxx

Dear Liro I don’t think we will be the only ones to have these thoughts. We do torture ourselves. I hope your friend is right and once we leave this human consciousness we are somewhere else and these things don’t matter anymore. That’s what I’m hoping and praying for and I will get to meet him again even in another form xx

You’re right.
Everyone here is amazing.
Always here for each other. Even though we’re all in the grip of deep grief.

Sending love and hugs x

Yes where would we be without it. You can share the most personal thoughts and no one laughs or judges. And it’s good to know that others are having similar thoughts :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Yes @jody

I have to believe that.
Otherwise we’ll never get any peace while we’re still living our life here on earth.
We can’t tortue ourselves for the rest of our lives.
Our husbands wanted us to go on living. not worrying about things we have no control over.

Love and hugs

Agreed :heart::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I am back doing 3 days, I normally do an evening shift as well as duty manager of a coach holiday company , it’s very difficult seeing ā€œcouplesā€ checking in for their holiday and i know they can’t help being in their 80’s/90’s but i just think I am 56 and a widow!! A holiday guest asked me yesterday how long I had been in Devon as I am from Liverpool, and he said " have you got a husband "!! so you can imagine! (fucking shit )!! Yes I miss the coming home and telling , Nick about the working day, and yes he would always text me in work, and as for the " snuggles " missing that too! I am sleeping with a large fluffy percy pig sprayed in Nicks after shave ! x

Oh bless you snuggling Percy :revolving_hearts:

Im going to do a phased return for a couple of weeks. I did think about going on the bank but then I’ll loose everything I’ve worked for. I’ll see how it goes. Has it helped you going back?

I’ve got a dog so he’s my comfort. And my poor Andrew is in a box next to my bed. Wtaf is this life. Me, my dog and a box of ashes :funeral_urn:

Say hi to Simba :joy:

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone today. I woke up in a dreadful state this morning ( probably the worst I’ve ever been) and with your care and support throughout the day, managed to sit outside in the evening sunshine.
I think being outside in the fresh air in a landscape that is bigger than all of us, helps softens the pain a bit. I am really grateful to you all. Hope you all have a peaceful evening :heart:xx

Bless you @jody

Thank you for chatting away to us. I do feel bizarrely better this evening. We are all probably in sync and will be on a high (well not exactly a high :joy:) over the next few days. Then we will be back to scraping the barrel :rofl:

Glad your feeling better :heart:
