Engagement party

Losing a partner
1

Hi all

This evening I have been invited to an engagement party, a small gathering to wish the young couple well for the future.

It’s stirred up some memories. Good ones, that hurt in a way that I wish didn’t.

All I want to do is cry. I really want to go, but at the same time I’m not sure I can.

Conscious I can’t keep avoiding life and must make more of an effort. At the moment all I seem to do is turn up at work and that’s exhausting.

I hate feeling like this.

Try to go maybe if you feel you’d want to see them. You can come away after a short while if you need to. If not, don’t beat yourself up about it, you have to look after yourself

So I went. Was a good evening.

Felt odd, very conscious everyone there was in a couple.

Struggled a bit to get involved with conversation. I’ve never been very good at these sort of things.

Glad I went, just wish I didn’t feel the way I do.
