My husband died on 14th March 2020.The lockdown srarted 10 days later ,the day after his funeral.We had been married 50 years.We worked together for 40 years .Everything that was good in our lives was thanks to him.Wonderful holidays ,wonderful hobbies ( he taught me to ski ) He loved every bit of our life ,was a great dad and grandad and had endless patience .I can’t face a future without him in it. Can’t stop crying ,can’t sleep and find the “brave face” difficult when I’m with family.When people ask if I’m ok I reply “fine” when I want to yell that I’ll never be fine again.The overwhelming sadness is for the loss of his future as well as our future.I just don’t know what to do

Hi Zoe,
I think we all feel like that after the loss of a life partner. Grief sort of puts your live into reverse, if you see what I mean?
I spent nearly 20 blissful years with my husband. He used to say, we were meant to meet each other. His first marriage ended in divorce. I simply had never met the right man at the right time.
I have a deluge of mixed feelings. But your deluge must be at least 2.5 times worse.
All I can say is, only God or destiny can decide when one half of a partnership leaves this earth.
I have been left alive. So, I am, like you, struggling to get on with it. My husband died mid September. I guess I am younger than you. I have no children, bar an adopted son who lives in Indonesia. But I do have 3 dogs, who have forced me to keep on going.
The only suggestion I can make is that it helps if you are able to share your grief rather than struggle with it alone, that may very well help.
