Loneliness

It’s almost six months since I lost my darling husband, and I now know what the rest of my life is going to be like, lonely! It doesn’t matter who you are with, wherever you are or whatever you’re doing, it can never be the same again. Without the love of my life I am alone. At home is probably the worst, hours of silence, unless you talk to yourself. Trying to fill in time and find things to do to pass the time. Before John died this new life was inconceivable, we were busy and content. On the turn of a coin everything changed forever. All that I took for granted has gone and my world now turned upside down. I have lovely friends and a caring family but they can never replace the love and loss that bereavement causes. A loving and happy relationship is the greatest gift, so easily taken for granted, until it’s gone. Only then do we realise its enormous value. I’m so happy for the wonderful life we shared together but now an agonising memory. My heart goes out to all who are in the same situation and hurting badly.emphasised text

Yes lonely
If only
Cat is there
Not fair
Well it is what it is
Birds share
Feels no care
Plants grow
Just to show
Life goes on
Different now
Show me how
Bit by bit
Is that it
Slowly very slowly
It looks less large
Begin to take charge
Do this Try that

You mirror exactly how my feelings go. Its almost 7 months when i feel like my life and happiness basically ended. I too have family and friends but its not the same. Im waiting for counselling but they say the waiting list is up to 8 months! Just started on the list. As other people have said theres nothing to say to take the pain away, but my love and hugs are with you xx
