I lost my husband two weeks ago. My three children and I are just lost. I wake up and I just want all this to stop. I’m so scared of my new life and I just feel emptiness, sadness and despair. I’m frightened to live like this forever.

I feel exactly the same @Cattia and have to keep reminding myself that although I will never be without this grief others say it changes to a more manageable thing over time - I hope they are right. The terror of life ahead is awful though isn’t it. How old are your children? Mine are in their twenties and I know I have to allow them to go back to their own lives soon. I am trying to listen to all the advice about taking each day at a time for now though. So sad we are both on this horrible path.

Yeh day at a time or hour at a time if you need to …there are many twists and turns in this grief journey … but it does get a bit better with time but not gonna lie its tough. Just take as many distractions as you can and good you have children you can do this with xx

Thank you. It’s just so so hard, I never imagined that something could hurt so much and dealing with the kids’ grief as well is heartbreaking and exhausting.
