Another Tough Day

Losing a partner

Had a wobble this morning, I’ve taken to trying to write poems about my feelings. It seems to help clear my mind. This is one I’ve just finished.

Another Tough Day

I’m having a tough day today,
I’m feeling so alone right now,
Sitting here wiping my tears away,
Need to face the day, don’t know how.

This morning a beautiful sunrise,
But it didn’t chase away my fear,
The tears still falling from my eyes
I really need you, need to feel you near.

The loneliness is hard to bear,
Some days it seems too much,
A sadness that I’m unable to share,
That would be relieved by just your touch.

But as I look out the sky is blue,
The grey clouds chased away,
I’ll take the sun that’s sent by you,
As a gift to brighten up this darkest day.

Love & Miss you forever xxx🧡

My husband has been gone 8 weeks. Having a dreadfully low day. Nothing is getting any easier. Once the funeral is over people forget that you are still here. I’ve tried pulling myself together, it doesn’t work. I made myself eat dinner last night which made me feel uncomfortable. Then at 10pm i threw it all back up. Was only a smLl serving. I miss him so much. I want him to hug me and tell me its going to be ok. My life is shit now and i dont want to be here anymore. X

Hi Bubba
So sorry for your loss.
Those feelings are very familiar. I had thoughts of not wanting to be here anymore without my husband and still do. I wish I could say it gets easier but time doesn’t make it better, time just helps you learn little by little to face each day. I have suffered loss before in the family but nothing prepares you for losing the love of your life.
All I can say is don’t expect too much of yourself, the sadness is overwhelming sometimes but it’s natural you’ve lost a part of yourself. Your life has changed too, in fact you’ve lost your life as it was.
Writing things down has helped me, I started writing our funny stories down & memories. I message him every day & also write poems of my feelings. I talk about him all the time as do our family & friends and don’t be afraid to cry in front of people. Whilst I’m still here he’ll never be forgotten.
Take care x
