Just wanted to say hello. Nearly 9 months down the road now. I still just take one day at a time. Still cry every day. Yes I do things and keep myself busy but I’m not happy. Yes I see people in the day but it’s a very lonely life now . Totally different… have the horrid dreaded feeling every morning when I wake up. I wish it was a dream and wake up and it’s all as it should be , but, sadly not!

Hi @AngeB
Sorry you are feeling so rubbish.
One day at a time is good advice and I try to follow that but I don’t want to live my life like I am.
Sadly have no answers as to how to find happiness again - I would make do with just the pain being less.
Time and keeping going until it gets easier may be the only things ?
Sending some strength and a big virtual hug. It’s just so shit isn’t it. Xx
Hello ange
I can relate to this.
When I lost my mum nearly 8 years ago I didn’t know what to do. I felt so helpless I have a partner I’ve been with nearly 18 years who was lacking In compassion and empathy towards me even after she lost her mum few months after mine I have felt I can’t turn to her for support. She’s one big let down. All I still want is for her to be there for me like I am for her
I’m so desperately unhappy then I’m so scared I’m going to lose my dad he’s ok at the moment but after losing my mum I am prepared for what is coming
I have no answers unfortunately how you can find happiness but I know everything takes time
A little thing that has helped me
- Every morning when I wake up I journal at least one positive thing that happened/ I did the previous day.
Some days early on it was showered/cleaned teeth before going back to bed!

That’s a good idea…

Sorry for your loss. Welcome to the forum. I think joining and posting on here will help you somewhat. I have found its a relief to share some things anonymously but also to find people who feel and think the same, have shared experiences etc. I only joined a couple of weeks ago and it has already helped me a bit.
