I lost my beloved husband 8 wks ago and the hurting is so bad. He passed away in hospital where he never wanted to be, that’s another story. We had been married 30 yrs, second time around for both of us. He retired early at the same time so we could travel, which we did. I feel like he’s taken half of me with him. The loneliness is terrible. I cry morning and night. I’ve been seeing a counsellor for 4 weeks. Not sure if it’s helping me. The thought of a “new” life without him I just can’t envisage.
