Empty bed

So sorry.

The rollercoaster of grief is devastatingly cruel.

We are all with you and understand.

Take care, big hug x

Hi everyone I hope you are all ok I know itā€™s hard trying to process what has happened to us.I spoke to someone today as I was walking my beloved dog.We end up talking she had lost her partner 13 Mths ago and said I should get on with my life she has and on the dating app she said her partner told her he didnā€™t want her to be alone. I said Iā€™m not interested as Iā€™m 71 and still grieving.Then she said she was 58 and wasnā€™t going to miss the rest of her life .Well I suppose everyone is different. you no that you have lost your loved one and we donā€™t even realise how much you really loved that person because we just take it for granted they will always be there.
It destroys you then you feel empty inside but we go on day to day knowing they will never come back just to say one more time I love you and appreciated you always been there.
I send you all love and hopefully day by day you will carryon with your lives xx

Everybody is different some people move on quickly some it takes longer and others never do. Iā€™m 44, itā€™s been nearly a year and I feel like I never could but Iā€™ve had people say your only 44 your young enough to meet someone else they donā€™t realise you donā€™t want anybody else x

when i lost my first husband at age 38, it took 2 years to go through his things, i wanted to curl up in a corner and die, my kids kept me going. Then at age 40 i was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, that gave me a kick, i realized i didnā€™t want to die. i had to fight, i had a friend from work who was my rock and i kept pushing him away, i didnā€™t want him to feel like me if i didnt make it, he didnt give up and 3 years after my 1st husband died, we decided to give it a go. He was my rick and soulmate for 30 years, i lost him Feb this year, and this time i dont want to go on, the pain this time is far worse . i donā€™t have the will to fight, i go through the motionā€™s, go out with friends etc but its not the same, we did everything together and now theres an empty space nothing can fill this time im not sure ill get through the grief

Hi Sah28 I would think it would really hard to move on one day at a time you are still a young woman and you have time to grieve. No one knows whatā€™s around the corner itā€™s early days and love runs deep. You take care of yourself first and hopefully one day you might find happiness again. Bless you I no what you are going through and itā€™s the worst thing that can happen to anyone.lots of love xx

Hi ronni4 My heart goes out to you but your story sounds so much like mine.We go through so many emotions every day and it kills me but I put my coat of armour on and walk my lovely dog hoping that it makes me feel better and it does but then come back to an empty house. Your husband would not want you to be sad and lonely you will always have him in your heart and that love never goes away.So please try and get out and about itā€™s hard at first but you can do it be strong put yourself first.take care lots of love xxx

You are young and you donā€™t know whatā€™s in the future.I could never be with someone else but Iā€™m 70 and we were together for almost 40 years,itā€™s a lonely life but he could never be replaced.Itā€™s very insensitive for people to suggest you could meet someone else when you are grieving itā€™s the last thing on your mind.

In time my feelings about it might change Iā€™d never say I wonā€™t but my thoughts on it now are I couldnā€™t imagine it.
I think itā€™s all about whatā€™s right for you everyone is different x

Thank youā€¦ itā€™s just that feeling of thereā€™s nothing to look forward anymore. Heā€™d hate me to feel like this but I canā€™t shake it off.
Take care and letā€™s hope things get easier xx

Hi No Iā€™m 71 and no one knows what the future hold if you have read my story I have been through a lot . And I donā€™t want to meet anyone at this time in my life.But a lot of younger people do need to get on with there lives if they feel the need to do so it depends on the person Take care
