It is four months since my husband of over 40 years died and often the grief is as raw as the moment he died. I have yet to work out how to lift myself out of those dark times.

Hi Layla2
My wife died just 46 days ago and I feel the same way. Carol and I had been together for 36 years and she was the centre of my life. Trying to get my head around the fact I will no longer be able to walk holding her hand or kiss her good night just causes so much heart ache.
I desperately needed help before Xmas but everything was shut down. I have since learnt that many grief counselling service don’t kick in until after several months, so I went looking for it directly. I found this site and help from the Hospice. I am signing up to anything and everything I can in the hope that something with help, its easier to drop a service than to get signed up for it.
There is no easy way to get through life without the person that was probably our main reason for being, but I was was reminded that Carol only every wish the very best life could offer for me during our 36 years together as I wished for her. There is no reason to think she would have wanted anything less even for me even when she is no longer here to share it with me. I am sure your husband would want only the best for you and whilst it may be painful to know we will not make any new memories
we will always have the memories we did make together to make us smile.
Regards
Derek
