My brain just won’t let me sleep tonight. Spinning from reliving the 2 days of hell abroad where my partner went from healthy and well and enjoying his holiday to being ill to intensive care to death. Difficulties with his family. Finances and all the admin and we still haven’t been able to arrange the funeral and won’t be able to until at least next week. I just want to sleep I’m exhausted but sleep just won’t come.

Hi @JC2024
It can be a lonely night when you can’t sleep. I bet you’re exhausted both physically and emotionally. I’m not much help giving advice about sleep as I am a regular late at nighter here, but you could try music, watch tv in bed, read, - I’m sure you have tried this and it’s hard to switch off when your brain is in panic mode.
And I find I can’t concentrate on anything for too long.
I’m so sorry for all the pain you are feeling.
It’s just really crap for you and everyone on here.
Keep posting if it helps. There’s usually someone around to offer some kindness and support.
I do hope you get some rest xx

Just seen this three hours later and wonder if you did nod off in the end. I fall asleep and wake then can’t sleep.
Haven’t got great advice as all advice I got told never really changes much for me.
I remember that period you are in and just like you are. Somehow we will though

Totally understand this…bit like jetlag, exhausted but wired that leaves you feeling out of it. I don’t seem to be able to focus enough for reading, music is too painful so through the night I binge watch trashy/easy watch TV programmes my husband would have hated. Just helps me push my merry go round mind away for an hour or two x
