I lost my husband of 24 years, on Christmas Day, we have 6 children so i am trying to keep things as normal as possible for them. I try and stay strong through the day, there is so much to sort out, he did everything, but at night it just hits me.

Hello @ksing,
I can see that you’re new to the community, so I wanted to say that I am so sorry for the loss of your husband that brings you here.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that may help right now.

- Our Grief Coach text service, which sends you personalised text support via SMS
- Our free Online Bereavement Counselling which is held via video chat
- Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.
Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.
Take care,

Ksing there is so much to do and keeping busy is a way of blocking it out but unfortunately we can’t stop the reality creeping in. It’s still so really raw and new. Look at the various posts on here, you will see a lot of people who feel just the same. It’s been 15 weeks for me and I get some really dark days but the people here pick me up. I find putting on a brave face is something a lot of us do, but here we can be honest. It’s hard. It will be hard for a long time. I miss my man. I miss my life, I miss my future. But things will slowly settle. I haven’t had a day yet when there haven’t been some tears but some days are easier than others. I hope your children can give you the strength you need.
