Hello @Mel79, I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife and best friend. That is such a lot to cope with. I really hope you find the community to be a support to you.

Feeling lonely after loss is very common. I wanted to share this recent thread with you in which some of our members discuss their feelings of loneliness; maybe you would like to connect with them.

Take good care,
Seaneen

I lost my husband of 63 years in July so I know just how you feel. The loneliness is crippling and I wake up every morning feeling frightened. I try and carry on for the sake of my two married sons as they are doing their best to support me,
Have you a family to help you? Xx
