My lovely girl died almost 2 yrs ago at 47.
She had been ill for a while but it was a shock when she died.Initially everything was happening elsewhere.I coped by thinking she was on holiday.
I cant face her not being here to talk to.Nobody speaks to me anymore either because they dont want to upset me or its been a while and they just don’t mention her.
I dont know how to cope with it.My husband trys but sometimes I just want a hug and I can cry and he just ignores it as if I’ll stop soon.
I feel so alone.Thank you for reading this.
