It sounds similar to my grief. The numbness the gut wrenching emptiness. It’s 7 weeks for me since my husband passed away. We only had each other and that was enough of course now I am left with nobody. He was my everything, we didn’t need to say what we were thinking we knew. I’m unable to stay at home I’m out early 7.30am and don’t get back till as late as possible. Just to shower and sit in corner in front of the TV. Then a cup of coffee in the morning and off again, exhausting. The emptiness at home is too much, I hope I can stay home some time, it’s full of my beloved husband.

I lost my husband 5 weeks ago and my brother 4 weeks before that. I completely understand why you have to get out of the house. We were together for 43 years, and the pain of his loss is immeasurable. I have to put the TV on as soon as I get up, it’s company, and breaks the awful silence. It may help if you can stay in the house for say 10 mins longer every day for a week, then the next week try 20 mins each day. Eventually you might find yourself staying in till lunchtime. Please done feel alone, sending support and hugs x
