It is a long road that we travel when losing someone you love so deeply.

having a very hopeless day today. I got up in the night angry a few hrs after going to bed exhausted sure I’d sleep but I nevervdid.

My mum is sleeping in my bed with me and I am angry with her fir not being my husband. angry with counselling I’ve tried to access that via GP and private and sue ryder cruse either has waiting list, back after new year or couldn’t help me as said I need a psychotherapist (which they sent me some and private work healthcare will pay but the effort just to get to this point is exhausting and I didnt get help despite very very long phone call assessment).

I don’t want to phone people on here for various reasons including I am too selfish right now and will talk about myself and alienate you last hopes I have in confiding in.

I am killing my mum, she gets more ill every day but I keep snapping at her and she is only trying to help me. like last night I moved to the couch at 2am, finally got to sleep around 4 but then she came down to check I’m OK and woke me. I know she is perfect and I’m so lucky so why am i so annoyed. I will be so sorry when she dies that I didnt act better now and I am in advance but still can’t act better. My stepdad has the news talking about Christmas or programs with adverts about Christmas and keeps talking about it. I just want to be alone a few days with no TV radio on but I also know I can’t cope alone either. I’m trying to do the right things sometimes but its so much effort. I still didnt even tell a load of people he is dead that I should have. So many very complicated things to still sort out with my husband’s computing that control all the electrics. people offer help but then can’t because he invented it so no one knows. I’m hiring a car I can’t drive,

I did volunteer on a local group trying to take control for our town from the council before all this but gave that up, they try to get me back involved and rung me but I don’t answer and feel bad for that. Got a promotion but can’t take that. tried to start back at just my normal job and can’t do that. Found out this week due to a merge there will now be redundancies so maybe I won’t even have that.

My stepdad wants us to go and meet stepsister today an hour drive away. At Llangollen where I was with my husband in September and he was so healthy he wanted to climb the hill but I got halfway and said another time. my stepsister is unbearably cheerful with her husband and three children at the best of times and again means we’ll but I will just want to punch her in the chops.

Everyone is well meaning and trying to help me as best as they can. I try to keep getting up but I’m on my knees more and more. I have diazepam but trying not to take as dr rationing me now and I know the worst is to come. my husband’s birthday on Xmas eve was so wonderful usually. I can’t even light the candle to join you as didnt figure out the electrified smoke detectors connected to home robotics that turned electric off last time they detected smoke from a candle i lit the day after he died.

Then after it all I think why. If I had my husband it would be so different and I was a different person I was proud of and helping others, instead of this leeching, snivelling,ungrateful parasite. I can’t get up.
