I hope you enjoy your trip to Belgium. My wife and I had a holiday in Bruges a few years ago and we loved it.

My son and his family have just left after their visit. We had a lovely time but now I feel sadder and more lonely than ever. I’ll be ok when I settle back into my routine I guess.

Being busy certainly helps me as well that way I am dealing with the mixed emotions a bit at a time instead of head on all of them at once a first for me this year at 63 beef burger and chips for Xmas dinner in Lanzarote the first time away anywhere at Christmas and not cooking my oldest son is with me whilst we await news of my first grandchild being born, life goes on and the sun still rises even though it can be very hard to go on but that’s what our missing partners would want for us so baby steps and do it at your own pace we are people not robots it’s a different journey for each of us

I went with my dad to visit my friend and her family. I hit no family here in UK and my dad is only visiting. We had lovely time, but I felt sad after coming back home and we are home today and I feel so so sad. I’m trying to put my brave face but I had a huge battle inside me and just want to scream. I’m taking out all Christmas decorations tomorrow, can’t look at them anymore. I could just drink a bottle of wine by myself and go to sleep. However this morning I had lovely long walk with my dogs and that’s the only thing in my life that’s keep me going. I prefer to have my routine and just work, that’s all.

Thank you brummy. Yes it’s been a hard couple of days. Probably like you my first Christmas alone. I watched a video of one of our holidays. Just a couple of phone calls yesterday, with my sisters. Not for very long. If you are going shopping tomorrow, I hope you are ok.
Take care.

My husband died suddenly 9 days ago at the age of 54 and I am crazy with grief today. I miss him so much, I don’t know how I can ever accept not seeing him again. Today feels even worse than Christmas Day. I think I’m managing, but then a wave of hopelessness and anxiety and heartbreak hits me and takes my breath away.

I’m so sorry. It’s just 3 weeks since my husband aged 66 passed away suddenly. I don’t think we should question how we’re feeling. I’m trying to go with it and cry when I need to. Sometimes I feel calmer and other times I feel like I’ll explode with misery. Be kind to yourself. It’s right that we’re grieving. And it hurts like hell 
. Feel so sad for you.

My feelings sound just like yours Cathy. I sometimes feel calmer and then reality hits me and it’s like a being punched in the stomach or being given an electric shock. I do keep telling myself it’s all normal and I have to go through the grief, but my heart hurts and I just want Mark back. I’m so sorry for you

My heart breaks for you, I can’t imagine how that must have felt. The shock of losing the love of your life at such a stupidly young age is overwhelming. I am so sorry.

Oh bless you. That’s so awful. We’re all struggling to understand our sudden, totally unexpected losses. I keep playing over in my head my stepdaughter’s call to tell me my husband had passed away. We were always together yet not when he collapsed and died. Can’t get my head around it.
So sad for you to lose your wife on what was meant to be a celebration. I’m really really sorry you’re going through this. Hugs for everyone who’s suffering
