Anxiety & sadness

It’s almost 15 weeks since I lost my husband. Last week was a better week but yesterday and today have been awful. I have this feeling of doom & filled with anxiety. I just know cuddling him would make everything ok but that’s not possible. Also on day 12 of Mirtazapine which is helping with sleep but the dread, fear all the emotions are so strong. I know this medicine can heighten things the first few weeks but in time I really hope it helps. my kids are 14 & 11 and I’m due to go a caravan holiday with them & also family tomorrow. The thought of this is making me want to hide away. I wish I had my husbands strength, he was always the strong one.

Hello Andie, so sorry you are feeling this way, we seem to all have those moments. Where we just want to hide away and not bother with anything..maybe it’s that new medication that has heightened those awful feelings. ..sometimes I dread going out. But once I am out , I do enjoy being out with others . I do hope you enjoy your holiday with your family. Take care and God bless you and your family.

Dear Andi I am sorry you are suffering. I can imagine how hard everything is. It’s difficult enough just to survive after losing your loved one but to have to try and keep going for your children must be so tough.

Wishing you all the strength you need and sending hugs

All the best Tom :hugs: :hugs:
