Hi Angela, i am so sorry for your loss, i havent lost a son or daughter but i have lost my soulmate back in October. I do exactly what you are doing, i break down in tears every day, i talk to her as if she were still here and i have a couple of pictures of me and her on a table where i have lit a candle, i kiss her picture every day and wish her goodnight and sleep well and see you in the morning. Its so painful i know. ive recently started a journal in which i write to her every day to tell her how im feeling and tell her what im doing during the day. Ive also put together a photo album of our times together from when we met. these things have been hard to do but give me some comfort. i wish you the strength to carry on during these awful times
Thank u i have book letters to my son i write weekly to him i have a shelf in my living room with a pister size photo of him his ashes and ive rearranged his coffin topper i dont know if im over doing it but i have pics everywhere of him it rips your heart out i feel your pain talk to your soulmate everyday its a way of keeping there name going i believe i wish you luck in your journey and hope that one day we can both feel better about our loss i feel at the min its way to soon

I feel for you, I feel just the same at the loss of my son. Like you, I cry one day and then another day are more ‘normal’, no pattern, it just comes and goes in a ‘wave’ . I know its all part of the grieving process, but its hard isnt it? But you are not on your own, I have only just joined but if ever you need to talk I hope I’ll be able to offer you a few kind words. Be kind to yourself and take care. x
