Sadly we didn’t have children, my wife became ill 2 to 3 years after we got married, she was medically retired at just 23. She had chronic asthma & was described once by a Papworth consultant as the worst asthmatic he’d ever met. Mainly due to the speed she became very ill, she scared our GP once, we were there for something else & the GP said there wasn’t an upto date peak flow on her records, so could she do one. It set off an attack our GP was running around like a headless chicken, she grabbed nurses and allsorts to help, we left the surgery by ambulance, my wife having walked in fine.
I try to think positive but it’s getting harder & harder, I just seem to be lurching from one crisis to another. I was supposed to be taking mum to the theatre on 30th but I really don’t think she’ll be well enough, or if she’ll even be out of hospital by then. I’m not sure she even realises she’s in hospital, I’m fairly sure she knows she’s in bed by the things she keeps doing.
Oh no. How awful
Like you when i finally do fall a sleep i also wake up with cold sweats and a feeling of anxiety as if ive done something but can’t remember what but i wake up feeling guilty
Do you find your health is suffering mine is terribly , i havnt been well since mum passed away and im getting worse

Hello Butterfly 22
I too suffer terrible anxiety since my only sibling died. I have tried everything but cant find a solution. Its nearly 2yrs since i lost him i haven’t yet accepted it i think. Sending you best wishes.
It’s not my health but my brain is just mush, I have to use the satnav to go places I’ve been going all my life, twice recently I’ve thought no I don’t need to use it and gone the wrong way! If I don’t write things down I forget them, I have to set an alarm on my phone for dr’s appointments etc so I don’t forget them, I set it for between 30mins & an hour before I need to be there, or ready if it’s a phone one.
Everything is worse at night. It’s so hard to switch off, I find myself sobbing uncontrollably, and then just feel more exhausted.
It’s being alone in bed, missing the presence of his big warm body,
Was thinking of getting a little dog for comfort
Mainly weight loss and anxiety
You have just described my life too. Nights are a dread My dog is my life saver. he sleep with me
