Having a Bad Time

I’m having a really bad evening. Can’t stopping thinking about how my wife passed away and crying like a tap. Maybe I need a kick up the backside or a stiff drink. Was having a goodish day until an ABBA song of all things played, then I just started and can’t stop.
I really miss my wife and I’m feeling so alone but I know I’m not.

So sorry for your loss . Days and nights are so hard without the ones we love adore and cherish. It’s been five months since my husband died I don’t know how I have got through them. I can’t see any future without him I miss and love him so so much. I don’t know what to say to help you . X

Hi I don’t think there is anything any of us can add. We’ll all carry this sadness for the rest of our lives. But we must get the strength from somewhere to push through the dark days and remember all the good times we had with our respective partners. My husband of 44 years was taken from us suddenly. How I’ve got through the last ten months God only knows but I have and I know my darling John would be proud of me. I’ve found strength I never knew I had and although I carry around the sadness we all do, I just have to push on, struggle through the pain and take what each day brings. My love goes out to all of us. I have had many traumas in my life losing both parents while I was quite young, my only sister and her daughter,
my niece. But nothing compares to the pain I am experiencing now and will continue to live with for the rest of my life.
Stay strong everyone.

Dear Broken2222,
I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sure you’ve heard that time and time again but here we mean it because we all know how much we miss our loved ones. I’d told it gets better with time but it’s getting to a point where you face the world with a true smile instead of pretending we’re ok. Hold on in there you’ll get there let me. If you ever need to chat, let me know.

Thank you Georgie15, what you say is so true and some how we take one day at a time.

I’m nearly a year on and it is still just as hard. Songs can easily do it - so many things that I used to smile at now have the opposite effect. I find I can distract myself by the many things that I have to do but once something ends, it’s back to reality and an empty house. Keep posting - people here are very supportive, all we can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other. I hope eventually that it won’t be an act, but I’m not sure when it will become easier. Take care
