Hi, Any one else still feel as though they are in a dream since losing their partner.? its been 13 weeks since I lost my beautiful wife unexpectedly at the age of 71 years young, and miss her like crazy, and cry each day for her, although I know she will never come back to me, I still have occasions for the odd second or two that it seems untrue and I am dreaming, and she going to be coming through the front door, its a wonderful feeling for that split second but once I realise that this is not going to happen its such a downer, I put this down to the meaning of the word Grief as this seems to play weird things with your mind, Take Care Mickere xx
Hi mickere, I’m sorry for your loss.
Not so much now as it’s been over a years since my husband died, but yes during the early weeks and months.
I still thought he was in hospital being treated right up to the funeral, even then I thought of course he’s not in there he’s at home.
I found you would be doing something or watching TV and turn to speak to him. Mornings were worse when you wake up then realising they are not next to you.
It’s like living in an alternative reality, everyone else is carrying on as normal. Can’t quite explain but you feel as if you are on the outside looking in.
But for you it’s only been a few weeks, your emotions are going to be all over the place. Your right grief is weird, you never know when it’s going to hit you. One minute coping the next bang.
Sending you love and take care.

I’m in dispute with the funeral director as we have been treated very unsympathetic I’m lost on my backside but empty I just dont know how to move forward. My anxiety is off the scale. Its crappy my beautiful wife was only 55 we have been married over 34 years doing everything together so completely lost
