It’s been a realy hard day today still struggling and still yearning for my partner when will this get easier it’s 5 month now I’m on deppresion tabs but only been on them 2 days still longing for him just want too be happy again
Hi Isabell, I am sorry to hear that your partner has gone and you are feeling the pain of grief, it’s hard and until it happens to us, individual, we have no idea of the pain and the loneliness. I am pleased you have found this site because everyone on here knows what you are going through and appreciates the position you are in. It does get better because we learn to accept our new life and you can begin to see the future but it’s just not the one you had planned or imagined. The depression is part of the process and for me talking to a counsellor was better then the pills which just made me feel ‘dull and half died’ and they ended up in the toilet. So, yes, please look at counselling, Sue Ryder and Cruse both offer a free service. It takes time and energy to overcome grief but you will get there. Take small baby steps and be proud of the way you are dealing with each day. S xx
I’m sorry for your loss, It’s so unbelievable that you’ll never see them again that’s something I can’t get my head around, it all happened very fast for me and I’m near three months without my husband, I can’t explain how I feel when people ask it’s like being in a vacuum, how are you supposed to feel ? Why would they ask me even ? It’s all so mixed up every day is different, my gp offered me antidepressants but I said surely this is how I should be feeling, I’ve just lost my husband, there’s no avoiding the pain but it’s because we loved so much and we were loved back so much which I would rather have than never knowing such love, be kind to yourself, it’s ok to feel however you feel, we’re all in the same dreadful place here so you’re not alone sending lots of love and hugs xx
Hi ano it’s heart breaking I feel so lost without him I feel as if I’ve no purpose anymore I struggle too do any thing I’m not me and have anxiety and panic attacks I do hope it gets easier so heartbroken
Hi I think the anxiety and panic comes with the grief, it’s so overwhelming but it’s the worst thing ever to happen to us so it’s not surprising, I feel the panic is bubbling inside me and it frightens me that it may suddenly come out, the only thing that gives me a little comfort is the poem if tomorrow starts without me on YouTube because it’s as if my husband is talking to me and even though it makes me cry somehow it helps, I always listen before I go to bed, it’s anything that offers you comfort, I find even being with other people I’m still lonely because they don’t understand, the misery is always with me and grief is so unpredictable, I don’t care that I’m not good company anymore I just want to sit and think of us and what we had and that’s ok, each day as it comes, we’re both early on in our grief so we can’t expect too much, thinking of you and everyone else xx
