Coping with my bereavement

I lost my husband Of 56 years on 30th of July this years to lung cancer . I miss him every moment of my life. I feel very lonely very scared he was my umbrella. I’ve lost my umbrella. I sometimes I feel people avoid me . My Daughter I feel she doesn’t want me during this Christmas . I am dreading first Christmas since my husband died, This year is going to be very lonely Christmas.
I don’t know how to deal with this terrible loneliness.

I lost my husband 7 weeks and 3 days ago. I cannot move forward and cannot think back before his horrific short illness. I was with him in hospital for 4 days and 4 nights and would not leave him. There were just the 2 of us. We chose not to have children. I feel far worse now than I did in the beginning. I am also dreading Christmas. We were fortunate to have lots of friends who were brilliant in the beginning but find they don’t contact me so much nowadays which is hurtful. I feel very alone and cry all the time.

Hi lady, G,
Thank you for your reply, I am with you all the sorrows all the sadness and loneliness that you are going through.
I give you a hug of sorrow and sympathy for both of us , And our sadness and loneliness.

I have two children 6 Grandchildren, but they will not be here at Christmas and I will not be able to go to them either ,so I am going to be alone at Christmas.
No one but who lost their Husband understand the loneliness that follows after losing a Husband.
The loneliness sadness is worse than it was immediately afterwords.
There’s always this pain in my heart .
Lots of love and many many hugs of sympathy
