Grey and miserable in Wiltshire as well thats me and the weather! I go out to keep busy then come home and whoosh it hits me - the silence and knowledge that my dear Dave is not ever coming home. Actually I get the whoosh everywhere but at least at home no-one is looking at a mad wailing woman. Only seven weeks for me so early days but I can’t see it getting better any time soon. Maybe do a list of things you can do when your son is away to keep busy.

Yes I have a son and daughter who live not too far away but they are grieving as well so I try not to burden them too much. It’s difficult to explain the aching void losing your partner of 58 years leaves. Just trying to take each day at a time at the moment.

My heartfelt sympathy to everyone.
It’s so tough at times. But one day at a time, that’s all we can do.
I’m blessed with wonderful family and friends. All very caring and most check in on me
It’s the evening that’s worse since I lost my Rog from a massive stroke in May.
I prefer being at work now. But you still have to come home.
I can’t bear it now when people complain at petty things…I just bite my tongue!

Morning everyone, it’s a windy day here in Lincoln! My husband Paul only died 6th July so still very difficult but I’m taking things at my own pace and this feeling of extreme sorrow and pain has become part of me now. My adult children and my grandchildren are getting me through as best they can whilst dealing with their own grief. Despite living alone now I can sense my husband is here with me and I feel safe believing that to be true. X
