I came on this website as i had 6 weeks of phone calls and thet mentioned it so i thought i would give it a try but it does not make me feel any better with this shitty situation that we all seem to be in i find it very difficult to make friends always have done i have no children i have my family brothers that are here but i do not want to be a burden to them i am just not coping at all with this and try very hard to hide it from them i thought it would help on here but i just dont feel that it is helping me at all and i do not know what to do next

Hi Linda, I’m 5 1/2 months in. This life now without my husband is crippling. Yes granted I’m grateful for my family, but without the love of my life for 46 yrs it’s just unbearable, dark and lonely. I read posts where the second year is worse. I can only hope to find some light again one day. 
I have been in this for 5 years and still dont feel any better i miss him so much
Hi you are so new to this and i sm so sorry for your loss i have been in this for 5 years and feel its just as hard i was in my nightshirt on sunday when my youngest brother came to see me and realised i was not coping at all my husband was a big part of my life i met him when i was 17 he was 20 and we never spent time apart my own family saw the love that we had for each other and how much we adored one and other so this is the hardest thing i have ever gone through to lose him was davestaing to me and i know i am not coping at all it just feels so empty without him

Hi! Just joined because I am struggling coping. I lost my brother in January and I live in panic of losing my partner, is anybody else experiencing the same kind of catastrophic thoughts?? Big hug for everyone

Hey Shubhaa,
Firstly sincere condolences for the loss of your brother, I do sense your struggle. Now your partner concerns you too. It must be so so hard for you. I don’t have claustrophobic feelings thankfully. I really don’t know what to suggest really. Apart from the norm, visiting your GP and the Samaritan’s. What about other family members? How are they managing ?
Good Morning,
How are you today so far ?

Hi
Just plodding if im honest …on antibiotics because of my tooth so that doesnt help .how are you ? X
Dear Paul11,
Such heartfelt sympathies to you at such a delicate time. I would like to say, it gets easier, I say this as I truly can’t imagine a pain that is worst (I lost my mum 3 months ago). It is not as raw, but it still hurting.
I do thoroughly agree with JAH25 , being here, on this forum is a god send. It feels like you are speaking to everybody and nobody at all.
