It’s been a long long day, every minute of every day is consumed by grief. I can’t sleep, I can’t function. It’s so very hard as a single dad of 4. I just wanted to reach out if only to stop the pain. Thanks for your help and support and kindness. Life is tuff.

Truly sorry to hear about your loss 
It’s really heartbreaking going through grief, I’ve recently lost my partner just two weeks ago and am finding this group is helping.
Sending hugs 
Thanks for reaching out. Talking about things should help.
Just take day buy day.

Hopefully it’ll help talking
It’s just so consuming grief isn’t it. How long have you been grieving?
Only recently. Looking about to see what support there is. I was recommended to look on here. How are you feeling today.

I feel your pain - it is so hard losing a loved one and harder still trying to hold it together for your kids when all you want to do is climb into bed and hide away from life.
I recently lost my husband and have 4 kids also - 2 of whom are teenagers and still at home. I just try to do one task at a time. And get through each hour at a time.
This community understands and I find that helps me to know I am not alone feeling this way.
Sending lots of love and support

Are you finding it helpful so far? I couldn’t find much support online. I just feel really lonely, anxious and in disbelief. It’s a surreal feeling loosing your loved one.
Try and be strong for your kids🤗

Yes every day is a challenge, it’s not easy keeping a smile on my face for my children. It’s often a stranger that helps the most at the most difficult times.
There’s plenty of help out there and plenty of organisations willing to help, however there’s a very long waiting list and it’s hard work getting hold of the support. I am using Mind, the Samaritans, Shout, and other support networks but nothing is happening 
. Just have to keep trying. How is your evening going. Bedtime is not a easy time.
