Oh I’m so sorry for your very recent loss Anne, it’s an incredible shock losing a life long partner.
It will take some time to navigate this new life you have found yourself in, we all understand how hard it is and none of us want to be in this place we find ourselves in now.
I found that I couldn’t look too far towards the future, many people say this but I have found it has helped me, that is just taking one day at a time, getting through one day (and night) and then the next.
Cutting the future down into little spaces of time rather than thinking of it being an overwhelming big future! I don’t mean to simplify it, but just taking one step at a time is the best way forward for me. I hope it helps you too.
Keep talking & putting your feelings down.
We all understand, we really do.

Hi Anne,
I’m so sorry to hear about your husband
My partner passed away on the 27th of November, she was 33 and knocked down by a speeding car whilst crossing the road. Life is cruel and I’m still in shock.
This site is helpful as I found out I wasnt alone, no one can offer much help other than let you know we can relate to how you feel. The best advice I’ve had is as Janey said to take each day as it comes and try not to look to far ahead although that it much easier said than done. At the moment I’ve had bad days and worse days but it has only been 2 weeks.
Please try and look after yourself the best that you can and post/read on here.
Take care, Bryan.
