First birthday alone

It’s my birthday today so with Christmas Day and new year done, I’ve had some milestones come up very quickly.
Hubby only died 19 days ago

Take care of yourself and give yourself permission to cry

Thank you x

It’s hard for you at the moment talk about how you are feeling

Happy birthday to you. It was my birthday on Wednesday. First one with my mum. I struggled so much. It’s like it hit me so badly out of the blue.
I do feel a huge part of it is the milestones we’ve just had and that ours birthdays are a couple weeks after Christmas/New Year.
I have just signed up for some counselling sessions starting in 3 weeks as I don’t want to experience how I felt again on my birthday. Take care x

I’m very sorry for your loss @Copenhagen1

Please try to be kind to yourself, and celebrate each small win.

I’m having to pay privately for counselling. It will be worth it

Tiny wins are so good Been doing the washing that’s a win and cook a meal that a win

It’s hard to express how I feel other than bereft

Tears are ok its your bodies way of coping
