Are you worried of becoming a recluse? now you are on your own ? It’s horrible feeling even shopping, being out sat on a seat, watching people about their daily lives. Knowing you have to pop into a shop to top up on food, but really you just want to be home in your comfort zone.

Hi @Keith68 ,
I’m sure someone will be along to share their thoughts, but I just wanted to say thank you for so bravely sharing this with us. Keep reaching out,
Alex
Yes exactly true and how it is. When I get to the shop I find it tough. Guess I think about it a bit being reclusive. Can’t be bothered with the hassle of shopping lots of days. Sometimes have got it online instead. Not very satisfactory but helped earlier on when didn’t want to have to go in shops. A lot of fear after COVID.

Hi, I lost my partner of 16 years, 12 weeks ago. I have barely left the house since, I went to the shops once and broke down when I saw something she loved on the shelf.
I haven’t gone back to work yet, but have told them I am aiming for the beginning of May.
I have also told my daughter who lives in Cornwall ( I am in Yorkshire) that I will go visit at the weekend for a few days. I’m half looking forward to it and half dreading it, but I know I need to get out of the house before it becomes a real problem.
It’s just so hard. I miss her so much and I never know how the day is going to be. Some days I’m a crying rambling mess and other days I feel ok ish.

That’s normal I think, death isn’t easy to deal with especially when it’s someone close. You just can’t go back to normal it’s impossible. I think a lot about my life and the memories of people. DeathIt makes you question life every day. Could you done this better or if you had only done this. Going to the shops is just a mundane task nothing more. I found Christmas tough on my own, seeing post on social media of people enjoying themselves. That wasn’t my life and I wasn’t happy seeing those post, I’m like I don’t care. Don’t post !

Would be nice to go to Cornwall. Hope it goes ok. I wanted to visit my brother in Wales but he didn’t want to.
We have not been too good coping with things since we have upset each other with saying things that hit a raw nerve.
It is sad really.
