How do i deal with grief

Losing a partner
1

Hello,

My name is Andrew. i lost my beautiful wife to breast cancer on August 6th 2024. She battled for 13 years.

I knew the inevitable would eventually come as she was having palliative care but whilst in hospital she suffered a heart attack which was totally unexpected so i class her death as sudden. i have seemed to be dealing with it. I have had the numbness, tears, the ordeal of sorting her financial affairs etc. But last week the flood gates opened. I simply cannot stop bursting into tears. It has caused me to be off work which is worrying me in itself. We had no children so i am now all alone at home. We were happily married for 29 years. She was my whole world. How do i deal with the drastic change to my life. Discuss xx

Regards Andy

There is only one thing you have to do, survive.
In the beginning it seems impossible, but you have to do it so that you get used to containing your grief, it’s taken me 18 months after losing my Joan.
Best wishes mate.

I can fully gel with this, I’m in the same situation, my heart goes out to you Andrew, 20yrs later my grief id still there, I could not cope at work, tried hard to get a grip, wrong decisions, and life today after 35yrs? not the same. Kindest Thoughts, Ron.
