Hello everyone,! Husband died last week, not entirely unexpected but a great shock, family wonderful but just realising will spend rest of my life without him. How does one cope?

Sorry for your loss, the reason we cope with the loss is because we have to, there’s no other way around it. I lost my Joan 10 months ago after 40 years of marriage, sometimes the pain of separation is unbearable but you have to just keep going in the knowledge that every day passing may ease your pain.
A lot of rubbish has been written about coping with grief but my take on it is that the more time that passes the more you get used to coping with it, seek support from
family and friends and look after yourself, it’s really tough.

Thank you bootsie, will take that on board!! We were married 57 years and, although husband’s death not unexpected, his deterioration was rapid and a great shock to us all, Trying to adapt! Condolences for your loss too - Cynthonia
