Think I will try take bath and clear up today and see if that helps.

Today is not a good day for me. I have a heavy feeling, feel numb and can’t cry. My partner died on Boxing day. I really hope I will feel better this afternoon. I was awake at 430 so feel pretty tired. I do hope and pray this will get easier. I miss him he was my rock and I feel like the worlds shifted underneath my feet.

I think your feelings are reflected throughout this community we find ourselves in. Im broken, lost and desperate. I hate this feeling but after 2 weeks of misery i dont have the right answer but find myself alternating between pain and severe pain. Life is very hard and i just want it to get a little easier, i hope and pray this happens for all in this community, take care x

Morning. Try n rest up for an hour or two then up n shower n eat a bit of something and get out in the lovely sunshine n think of your happy times. Yes you’ll cry, just like I do but somehow it’s better than sitting in four walls feeling desperate…
I hate waking up because that now seems to be my cry time…but I’m sure it will get easier, it has to……plus I think back on my gran, my mum etc who were left n seemed to live with their loss after a time. For some it will take longer than others there’s no time scale…x

Hi, I’m in the same boat today. They say grief comes in waves. I generally wake up at 3.25 am , i couldn’t figure it out till i realised that is the time i got home from the hospital the night Sue went and i came home for the first time to an empty house. Which had changed so much in the space of a few hours. If i am lucky I get back to sleep for an hour or two. The trouble is waking up twice it hits you twice. I hope everyone has a better day then yesterday.

Are you any better today patsy ?

I do think of my Mum in law. She has lived on since 2004 and has had some lovely times along the way with lots of laughter and smiles. Is there anyone on here who is further into this journey who can say it does get easier? x

Nightwish, thank you, I’m feeling worse today if that’s possible. Sorry to everyone here, I’ve no positive words of comfort.

Sending you a virtual hug x

Thank you Pebblebay, that means a lot. X

Hi
It’s such a strange time for us all. My dogs mean I have to get up and showered straight away. I only live minute by minute because if I think of the past and future too much I go to pieces. 10 weeks in and I realise you have some very low days and often that’s when you need most help from this site so don’t be afraid to post when you’re down.

Thank you Numb, sorry for your loss, my husband passed away before Christmas. I’ve picked up a bit this afternoon. Others will be the same, that horrible nauseous feeling we all seem to have. I think constantly of everyone on this forum, we’re all in this club that none of us want to be in. Loneliness is a major thing for me, so this site is a big help. X

Yes Good Morning. Hope you ok n have a good day. It’s a lovely morning here.
It’ll be a bit traumatic today as I have to go to Johns house haven’t been for a fortnight but just need to keep thinking it’s only bricks n mortar but he’s with me all the time wherever I go…

Good luck today. I still can’t move Sue’s stuff. I get upset every time i try. It’s like part of mr brain is saying why are you doing that, she needs that.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my wife on the 29th of January. And yes, mornings are very hard when we remember that our loved one is gone. I make myself get up at 8.00 am and i do 30 minutes of exercise, whether I feel like doing it or not. After breakfast I do a few things around the house and at some point in the day I go out for a coffee, preferably with friends. I found a lot of useful advice in the YouTube video “Living without the one you cannot live without” i wish you well in these difficult times.

Hello everyone, I’ve just got out of bed, my mood so low. Hopefully very soon I’ll go and shower. Enough about me. All of you are in my thoughts. Do hope it goes well for you Mitzi.x

Hi patsy, have a shower get a drink,maybe get something to eat. It’s sunny down in Northumberland so it must be sunny in Scotland. I am hopeful going to get out for walk tomorrow. As like you the last couple of days have been hard. Hopefully your day will get better.

Hi Dan, i hope today is a little better for you. I am sorry this path is so crap. It doesn’t seem to get any better, but hopefully one day it will. Take care
