3 months exactly today for me! I know the morning feeling, so hard to start another day. I have odd moments when I feel ok, not odd days yet. I try to keep busy, mainly to be able to tell my two lovely supportive children what I did today. My lovely husband would want me to ‘get going’ too. One thing that makes me feel good is that he never has to feel the pain and loss that I do now. I look forward to brighter days.

I read your post today and I was busier than I am two and half years later after my husband died. But now hard to get going after I am older. I don’t feel the same as then of course. But depression has to be fought about the loneliness that is left behind. Can’t just magic a solution just like that to it.
Anxiety hasn’t gone away.
I am not exactly wallowing. I am actively trying not to do so. After all I was single once even if it was years ago. And have suffered loss before. So know there is no quick fix. I know I have to just deal with it as best as I can. There is a time for everything in life and to be happy and sad. As it says Seasons

Good morning everyone,
swimmer 13 weeks in , sometimes I feel like I am regressing, I force myself to be busy and that does help a little. I am starting counselling next week so hoping that will help. I agree, I would never want my husband to go through this pain and despair.

Hi Mitzi1 , so glad you had a nice time in Wales! Sorry that film set you off! Hope you are ok! Love to you! X

Last night and today up to now been bloody awful.
I thought I was doing well with a few tears and able to hold them back as well for the last two weeks but tsunami hit today.
Not good crying on the M6 coming back from Wales…
Think it’s a mix of missing my John terribly all the time and worry for my youngest son who I will have to be strong and supportive of for a few weeks…

Hiya u ok xx as you can be

@Suesue
How absolutely awful losing a son. I can’t imagine life without my two and grandkids.
It’s not how it should be losing our children.
Horrendous enough losing our partners/wives/husbands but a child isn’t manageable. I feel so sorry for you.
My grandad always called me Suesue.x

Hi DiggerDave, I’m not too bad thankyou! That was nice you had lunch with your sister in laws!

@Diggerdave
