Feeling lost cant sleep

Hi Leahrose18, I lost my husband on 30th December and I too feel lost and alone. He was my everything and I still struggle to believe he has gone (even though I knew it was going to happen - Motor Neuron Disease) . I wake up every morning at the time he died and then struggle to get back to sleep. It feels so hard that for everyone else things have got back to normal but I’m stuck in this misery. Sorry I haven’t got anything positive to say except you are not alone

So sorry for your loss. @Leahrose18
I lost my husband 13 weeks ago. We were together 42 years.
I understand your pain and your struggle
I hope that knowing people here understand will help to ease your suffering. It helps me
Big hugs

Sorry for your loss it’s so hard isn’t it.
I used to sympathise with others genuinely but until it happens to you, you don’t understand how devastating it is.
I am lucky I have my dog and she pushes me to get out in the fresh air and walk which in turn helps with the sleep.
Unfortunately we have to all find our own way through but I’ve found reading what others have out on here also helps. I don’t feel so alone.
Take care and know that the people here are giving you hugs

Feeling lost is normal. It is very hard after spending so much of your life with one person. I used to stay up late because I couldn’t face going to bed,being alone and bot sleeping. I have to say 6 months on that has improved and I go to bed at a more reasonable time. Still have tears every night. Things will get better but maybe not as fast as you would like.

hello i lost my husband five weeks ago and like everybody else struggling but if its okay i have a question you said you have a dog i have two small dogs but they have been staying with my son for the last few weeks to give me some time but i dont know if having them back would help my husband loved the dogs couldnt do much with them because he was so ill at the end thanks
Having your dogs back maybe a comfort plus having something to get up for and walking with them might help. I’m five weeks too sadly not pets to cuddle.
