6 months today

Hello everyone,

I want to say a very big thank you for all the messages of support.

I am so very grateful and overwhelmed by your kind words.

It was of course an emotional day.

As I am sure you understand, I don’t know how it is now 6 months since that
dreadful day.

Time and passage of time is now so different.

I think the assessment went ok. I will not hear for a while if I will be offered counselling. Fingers crossed.

I was exhausted in the evening and fell asleep not long after 8 p.m.

So please accept my apologies for not responding sooner.

I send each one of you my heartfelt thanks AND very big hugs :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Glad were helpful to you. They have been my rock at times and there were days i felt like giving up but the promise I made to my gorgeous beautiful late wife sue to carry on fighting for life and being here helped me

Hi Rose,
Sorry for your loss and unexpected I just feel it for you and your family.
It is 4 months today that my husband passed and this month i start a bereavement group of 12 of us. I preferred that rather than one on one.

At least here we can express our loss as we all understand even though our grief experiences differ.

Dear Rose, I will pray for you today. Be strong and take one step at a time. Life feels so cruel but we need to keep going and hopefully there will be a light at the end of this very dark tunnel. Take care, big hugs x

I haven’t been on here for a little while, not because things have changed but because being back at work has made my life very very busy.
I was so sorry to read how miserable you’ve been feeling Rose.
I have just passed the 23 week mark. It’s been a couple of really awful weeks for me too. I feel like I’ve got back. I’ve been into tears again a lot more of the time and reliving the morning in hospital he died. Still feel so guilty.
And I’ve been having a bloody awful time with the pension company, you think as a wife things would be sorted but they’re not. Company seem to have no feelings at all for the people that are dealing with.

So I’m just sending love and hugs Rose cause I know exactly where you are at. I hope the counselling helps. I’ve been having it since He was in a coma in March, and then even after he had recovered, and then later from the week after he passed till now.

6 months today since my wife passed away , feels like forever and also yesterday at the same time .
I can’t say it gets any easier , in fact in many ways it’s harder , in my head I know she’s not coming back but that physical longing to see & hold her again is only getting stronger , day to day life has gone on , getting through each day ( sometimes hour by hour still ) has somehow added up to 6 months going by .
I have no idea how I have made it this far , or how much further I can make it without her , but I have to keep going for the kids and hope that one day I will not feel so emotionally exhausted all the time , maybe even find some inner peace without her .

It’s so hard isn’t it :sob: 7 months for me today. The heart wants what it wants and the brain is all over the place. The pain is unreal. How are we supposed to accept that this is it. You build a life, work hard and it’s just gone in a blink. Sending love and strength to you. The only reason I’m still here is for our kids, I don’t know how we’ve got here today Dino, but we have, keep going, you’ve got this. Your kids need you now more than ever.

Hi Friends,
It was 8 months for me, a couple of days ago and I greatly resonate with all that has been said.

I have just had my. central heating system replaced and so a lot of upheaval/rejigging stuff but very pleased
We didn’t live together but less than 10mins walk away and very often at each others homes. I have just had a massive sobbing turn as feel so alone at the mo, knowing he would have been around and bern excited for me, checked the workmanship/helped moving furniture etc etc. I so miss his enthusiastic imput.
I JUST MISS HIM SO MUCH.
This is so tough everyone isn’t it,
Sending love to all. Xx

It is extremely tough. Us who are left behind don’t half suffer. Never experienced anything like this pain in my life, I feel completely disorientated. We don’t know who we are, what’s going to become of us, the bills keep coming, life keeps on moving, the company where my husband was killed are still open making money. I hate the world i must be honest. 7 months today and I’m still stuck on 29th February. I still can’t accept he’s gone and it’s driving me crazy.

Love and strength xx

Our kids will keep us going. We would never want to intentionally inflict this pain on them for a second time would we!

I agree re the pain, it’s horrendous and grief is so confusing.
