I also had a bad time earlier today. Then I decided to go to my allotment and dig, even in the heat, and felt so much better. I also met a few more new people there (only had the allotment for 3 weeks).
Thanks, everyone x

Yesterday, I posted elsewhere to family and friends.
It was different to previous posts in that it was a tribute to my lovely husband,
My earlier posts were about him but also my grief .
Yesterday’s post brought responses from men who had not done so before or very rarely.
I was glad to see they had responded.

Hi, Glad to hear you got some comfort from your post. I posted a bit of a tribute on here a couple of weeks ago. Somehow you need to affirm the qualities of your lost partner and your grief at your loss.
I found it to be particularly important for me because there was or will not be any funeral ceremony and it feels like he never existed for anyone but me.
Anything that helps us is a good thing. I haven’t posted anywhere else. I am just so grateful for this site where we can hold each other up. Xx

Hello,
I have posted each Sunday, starting the week after he died.
It is something I feel I have to do, I need to do.
I post elsewhere as that is where I can contact them.
This site means so much to me.

Good morning, yes it is a life saver for me too. I feel that 9 weeks in everyone is back to their normal lives and has forgotten him ( and me).
If I don’t go out, there would be days when i wouldn’t speak to another human voice. Sorry if I’m whining but everyone just texts and it’s not quite the same. X

Hi,
not whining, being open and honest.
I understand and feel the same.
I know the people on here care, which is a great support to me and truly helps.
Away from here, I feel totally forgotten.
I have just been thinking and writing about how I feel I am living in my own little lockdown world.
Thinking of you and sending a big hug

A big hug back Rose. I write in a diary every night to tell him what’s been going on that day and how I feel. I leave it open in the hope he can read it

Morning @jody
That seems to be a quite normal reaction
I write to my hsband every day, it’s like a diary, I tell him about my day and how much I’m missing him. It has become like a diary now, and I shall never stop.
It just keeps a connection
Sending a big hug

Thanks Liz
Yes just trying to keep that connection when it feels like others are moving on and forgetting him.
I shall continue too as it helps keep him close to me in this new life and scary future. xxx
I know what you mean.
I didn’t want a new life and yes the future is scary.
I hope you have as good a day as you can

I also feel as if everyone has forgotten me and my husband.
Even his family don’t seem to be that bothered and share photos on the group chat with them meeting up and having fun.
I’m exhausted with having to be strong for my kids and feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders.
I’m not sure anyone other than my kids would notice if I just up and left.
Just feeling so very alone today.

Aww, Roni, I feel your pain because that’s just how I feel today. Texted a friend because I feel so lonely but she is busy. I keep checking this site because I don’t know what to do with myself today.
At least we know that here we are not alone.
Sending you a big hug. Xx

Everyone, you are not alone.
I’m amazed at how people send me pictures of their evenings around the fire pit and share their plans for the weekend. And then say ‘what are you doing this weekend?!?! ‘I just say gardening because they don’t want to hear that I’ve no idea but whatever it is, it will be alone.
I also don’t want to hear from family what plans they have for spending their inheritance money. I’m probably just being over sensitive.
Please keep sharing then we don’t feel like it’s just us. I’m seeing a good friend later for a walk so hopefully that will pass the afternoon on xx
