It’s 18 months now, it’s true that there ups and downs. But the first thought is about her as soon as I wake up, and the last thought is about her.
My heart physically hurts some days and it feels like I’ve been punched in the chest. I’m very isolated and barely speak to anyone. Really doesn’t have anything left.

Good morning, I am so sorry to read your post, you will read many sad stories on these posts and i hope you will find some comfort when reading them. Sadly we are all here because we have lost a loved one and are trying to make a way to live a life we didn’t choose.
My husband died suddenly 8 weeks ago so I am very early in my grief and I feel exactly how you do. The pain in my heart is unbearable and there are days when I weep a lot. Please keep posting on here and you will get a lot of support. Thinking of you, sending love
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure you’ve heard that a lot, but anyone who says it on here really means it, as we all know how unbearable the pain is. No advice from me, just post when you feel like it.
