I really know how you feel,I was with Malcolm for 39years.He died suddenly in January this year due to medical negligence.I feel totally lost without him,I think of him constantly even though I try hard to find something to distract me.
The pain is a physical ache and it is so hard to imagine the rest of my life without him.I’m feeling particularly sad today as we were due to go on a short holiday tomorrow and instead of packing our bags and loading the car I’m just sitting here feeling bewildered and heartbroken.
I really do understand how you feel and I am thinking of you in your grief.xx

I feel so much like you do but I’m retired due to illness and I am 64 now.Love seems to drag.I cook,clean and shop but it is so different doing everything alone and for yourself.
I know how much you are hurting,the agony doesn’t seem to go away.
Do you have any tips that might help me Broken?x

@Rose45 - we can’t help what we feel - and if we can’t be honest here, that would be really sad. Please always share how you are doing - we all understand and we are all going through the same thing. For me, I am up and down today - getting ready to leave the mountains and go back to the UK. I have been sorting out stuff - cleaning, admin, etc, and have had a few breaks at work, which feel good. I looked out of the window and saw the sun is shining on the snow up in the valley, and it is beautiful. Suddenly, for a second, I feel confident, that in the end, I will be ok. Let’s go forward together today, everyone, and stay close.

Hi Rose - I have found a bereavement group. It’s very informal and more like a coffee morning, but all bereaved people. It lasts 2 hours once a week but some people just drop in and have a quick cuppa. It’s a very warm and friendly atmosphere. I mention it because I only found it by chance when I went on line and searched for Bereavement Groups local to where I live. The one I go to is in a church building but it’s not religious more support and understanding, like here, from people who are grieving themselves. When you feel ready something like that might help, especially as you can go, or not depending how you feel on the day. If there’s something like that where you live it might help. It’s very informal and kind and you don’t have to stay any longer than you feel ok with. Just a thought. I send you all my best wishes xx
