It is very hard to adjust to being on your own, I hate it snd no holidays to look forward to which we loved going abroad 3 times a year and now nothing, i hate nights too, so lonely and quiet.
What a shame we canāt all meet upā¦.do any of you have a place in your area where people bereaved can meet? Iāve just notice Barton on Humber near me have a Grief coffee morning twice a month so I might try

I havnt heard of any meet up places, it would be nice though.
Yes definitely go lv got nothing like that by me wish l did ..would be great if we could meet up as weāre all going through the same grief but everyone is so far away
Are we allowed to say where we are? Not our particular address of course

I would definitely go to it, it surely got to help talking face to face with people in the same situation and also meeting new people too, wish we had one near me i would go

I went to a talking tables at my local library on Wednesday .Its not a bereavement group . Itās a group weāre lonely people can meet up . I was very apprehensive about going , I had to push myself to go .i am glad I went . This one is only on once a month. There is another one which is once a week. And also a bereavement group local . As yet I havenāt decided which to go to
Your gp might have some information on where your local bereavement group might be . Talking tables is run all over the country you could try google it
I felt like you do , I hid away in the house . I realised I couldnāt carry on like that I had to push myself to go through the front door. It was really hard at first, but it has got easier

I have good support from my family . Like you , they have their own lives . When I first went out in my own I was shaking like a leaf . I did it though and it has got easier. I also find swimming , and walking my dogs is helping me .
I was also shaking like a leaf, i had a panic attack and had to get home quick it was horrible, my neighbour goes with me now if I have to go shopping

Well lm in south Wales and itās freezing here
My son or daughter in law take me shopping once a week as I donāt drive. I do know go out places on my own . I am not saying it easy itās not , itās difficult. Sometimes you have to push yourself . I took one of the dogs yesterday for there annual booster jab . I took him on the bus as my son was working I didnāt want to impose on him . Itās something I would have done with my husband. I got though it ok and felt pleased I had done it

I canāt understand why the mornings are the worst, I am so emotional in a morning, I had a terrible day yesterday, crying most of the day just wanting my husband back and the life we had together, now my life is empty and I dread mornings as i am so emotional.
