I lost my husband suddenly last week. I am a mess. I don’t know what I would’ve done without a couple of friends who have let me stay with them .I just can’t face going home at the moment apart from nipping in to see my pets. I was there today alone.i intended on staying for a few hours but only ended staying an hour. It’s the loneliness and the emptiness of the house that I can’t stand. How am I ever going to sleep there ever again and get back to some kind of normality. I just feel so terrified of the loneliness.

Hello Angelag, so sorry for the loss of your husband 
I lost my husband 8 weeks ago, I understand how alone you feel, im glad you’ve been able to stay with friends, because it will help you not being alone, you hafta first try and I mean try to even get your head around to what happened, and then hopefully slowly you might try staying in your place for a little longer, its a long tortuous journey that we’re all going through, sorry im probably not helping, but know you are not alone, we understand, we’ve all been through it. Please take care and God bless you

Hi Angelag, I am so sorry that you are suffering so much. I am gladb that you have some lovely friends to support you. It’s very early on for you. At the moment you need to look after yourself make sure you do the basics of eating and drinking. The first week for me was just a blur, after my wife died. If you find you can’t deal with things ask for help and get an appointment with your GP. I hope you find some solace here on this site as everyone here understands what you are going, we are all suffering from the loss of our partners.
Wishing you all the best

Dear Angelag1,
I feel your pain and I know how much it hurts… It has been a year since my most beloved husband died and I still can’t play our music that put the tears in my eyes and watching the videos to hear his loving voice makes me cry as well. It’s incredibly tough, so I’m grateful to have found this forum a few days ago… Try to find some comfort and take it little by little… You’ll always find a support here… We are all on the same boat… You’re never alone…
