Hello @Syd.1958,

I’m so sorry to hear about your wife. It sounds as though things are very different for you after 34 years of marriage and you are feeling that the pain of losing your wife is getting harder.

I’m glad that you’ve been able to share how you are feeling here and I hope that you find the community a good source of support. Everyone here has experienced the loss of a loved one and will understand some of what you are going through.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few resources with you that may help you right now.

Take care - keep reaching out,

Alex

Your posts resonate with me. I was married 37 years and lost my husband September 2021. I was 21 when we met. Struggling now despite my lovely family. Have had so many changes in the last 12 months. Finances, work, daughter got married, first grandchild due. I miss my husband every day. Hugs to you all x
