Coping and managing grief

Hi guys…i lost my husband 15wks ago. Like so many of you, that have had a loss during covid, I think the constrictions have made every bit of this very,very hard.
My husband was 52,and it was unexpected. And at home.
I am now trying to get used to living on my own, and of course the unbearable loss of my best mate.
I try and be productive each day …keep busy, garden visits with family.
But I am struggling to manage my grief, and evenings are awful…
Any suggestions, or expierence,and ideas to help myself, very much appreciated.
God bless.

Hi I lost my husband in March to cancer 2 days later we were in lockdown it has been so hard I think to myself I’ve got through lockdown I had my daughter granddaughter move in and my son lives at home some have no family during this horrific time. My daughter went home and my son has just brought a house. His been away this week the house is so quiet. I push myself to do things. So sorry for your loss. X

I so understand. My husbamd has been gone 4 months.
He was 52, unexpected, in the middle of covid.
I am still struggling every day.
I have a good family. But have kept away from friends,as there life’s now feels alien, and I don’t feel part of the mainstream now.

Although our grief feels unbearable at times, I believe that we have to feel it to ‘get through’. I am 12 weeks in to losing my husband Gerry. I have been meeting friends, maybe you could choose who you think would be understanding? I have told them I will always want to talk about him even if I get upset. Take care, Janet x

Hi so sorry that you’ve become a member if this group, a group none of us want to belong to. It’s early days for you, how many times have you heard that. It’s a journey, no it’s not journeys are exciting with something nice at the end. Try to get through each day, then the night, as hard as it is for those left behind, remember life is precious and we are only here once, we all have a future just very different to what we had planned. Look after yourself, be kind to yourself as your loved one would have been to you.
