Thanks Tom, you have good night. Its a relief to be able and share our feelings with understanding people who share our grief and the loneliness for our forever loves. I can be in a room full of people but still lonely for the one who truly knows and cares for me.

My partner used to do the shopping too he enjoyed it when I could see it far enough. Like your husband he tended to overshop and the freezer and grocery cupboard was overflowing. I’m still trying to work my way through it almost 7 months later. I only buy bits and pieces from the supermarket as I don’t drive, so have to shop online for a big shop. I hate this life I have now, miss him every minute of every day.

That is a really cute fluffy little dog Tom. So cuddly. Your wife looked so happy nursing such a bundle of love. You asked if I had considered an older dog. Yes it is was only fostering. I would find the vet bills too difficult because tricky to get insurance that is affordable with older dogs. Lots pros and cons. I see a lovely golden retriever who walks by and I have a cuddle. His owner is a widow up the road. She doesn’t go on holiday so never wants a baby sitter. I weed front garden so can say hi to the cute dogs. Also walk up the park and footpath nearby to pick blackberries and wild flowers. Sit on the seat sometimes so dogs come by. Maybe I will look into fostering again. No harm in asking.

Hi @Redveg
I have had dogs all my life , I am retired so my dog is never left on his own for to long . I don’t know what you’re area is like , I now several working people who are on there own .that have dogs .They use doggy day care centres. I don’t know to much about them as I have never used one . More and more places are becoming dog friendly, ie dog friendly cafes ect . Good luck with finding the right dog. Look after yourself

I’m back to online supermarket shopping.
Thankyou for all your lovely comments. What an awful place to be for all of us. Im still navigating my way around being a widow and I’msorry I can’t at the moment find any comfort from anything and still find it hard to believe my husband isn’t no longer here even though im dealing with everything from paying bills to sorting the cars out. Omg I used to drive my car and that was it and as if by magic it filled itself up with fuel …took itself off for services and mot’s. I even had a self cleaning car….
. This is so overwhelming and rubbish.

Hi, yep get it, too unreal what we’re all going through. Unfortunately it’s real, nobody in my life ever talked about this human reality, life changing event one day we’ll all face. That’s so sad, on top of all our own sorrow.

It’s understandable how you are feeling. So many things to sort out both emotionally and financially. I am 7 months into the grief journey after my husband died suddenly from a heart attack. I have to use a solicitor to sort some of the finances out . To be honest I haven’t been impressed with her but that’s another story. Hopefully I should be hearing something this week which should finally sort the finance out . You have to do what is right for you and when you’re ready to do them . Look after yourself

Im so sorry for your loss and yes Steve was my best friend my soul mate and my everything. Its true no-one can prepare you for the heartbreak and loss and I too have spent many nights crying into my pillow and not wanting to live my life without him. People say I’m lucky because I’m surrounded by family and friends and yes I am lucky to have them but so unlucky to have lost the love of my life .
