Yes the hours of 2 til 6 is the worst. All the world is asleep :sleeping: seemingly!

I’d say lots of us are up.
Listen to talk radio (like LBC) or some audiobooks or watch some box sets even if you can’t really take in a thing. Anything so that you aren’t alone with your thoughts.

Thank you. This is a time that I wake up after a short doze 4.30. Like Groundhog Day

I think it’s worse if you have a little sleep. Then there’s no chance to drop off again.

It’s so difficult isn’t it? I haven’t been to sleep yet, fortunately not working tomorrow, I will be walking my dog early and then no doubt nap for a while, I listen to the radio ( another LBC fan) it helps sometimes, take care

Thank you x

I do the same with my dad’s photos which is awful as I can’t stop sobbing when I see his beautiful face looking back at me. It’s too awful.

Yep, 5 months since I lost my mum and I cry myself to sleep every night, I go to bed at 10:30 ish and I’m up till 1 talking to her or just crying and reliving it all again. It’s torture, my own hell loop every night before bed then get up and fake life all day it’s exhausting.

Oh you must be exhausted

I totally understand what you are going through. I’m feeling the same with my dad’s passing 4 months ago. It’s hell! The hardest thing is faking it every morning and go through normal life as if nothing has happened.

I cried in Morrisons and then trying to fill the car with fuel and then trying to remember how to turn the oven on.
My Paul did it all so I didn’t have

I’m so sorry, sometimes I feel like there are more hours in the day that I’m either teary or crying than not! Hang in there! Hopefully things will get easier.

Thank you @Vicky1974.
Antihistamines don’t seem to make me sleepy, although I do feel permanently exhausted.

Yes I agree with @Vicky1974 to pick a happy photo @Copenhagen1. With time (lots & lots of time) that’s how you want to be able to remember him.

@MrsJ2011 & @Temporary I’m 5 months on from losing my mum. The pain is immense. The tears gush out of me everyday. I feel so alone without her.
