Lossing my partner

Coping with bereavement
1

Today at work was very hard and emotional for me , since I lost my partner in August this year, days have been long , not sleeping right, not eating right. Every day am battling with my emotions. I got some help from my GP with sleeping tablets but not helping, still waking up. Im at the end of tether with grieving, all i want is my life to end. But i keep waking up every morning, another day without my soulmate :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:

Hello @Ricky68,

I’m sorry to hear about your partner. I’m hearing how painful this is all feeling and I want you to know that you’re not alone. There’s always someone out there to help you through this.

It sounds like you’re looking for support and I’m glad that you’ve been able to talk about how you’re feeling here. We know that a lot of people experience suicidal thoughts when they are grieving. We have a video about it here which you might find helpful:

There is lots of other support out there, and I would really encourage you to reach out and speak to someone about how you are feeling.

  • If these thoughts of suicide become overwhelming, please call 999 or contact your GP for an emergency appointment immediately.

  • You can call 111 and choose the mental health option to speak to a trained mental health professional (England, Scotland and Wales only)

  • Samaritans are available 24/7 to talk about anything that you are worried about in confidence. You can call them on 116 123.

  • Shout are contactable by text, 24/7. You can text REMEDY to 85258 and talk to them about anything.

  • You can also find your local NHS urgent mental health helpline.

Sue Ryder offers an online bereavement counselling service. This is a free service and sessions are held via video chat so you can attend from home. There’s more information about this service here: sueryder.org/counselling.

You can also make an appointment with your GP and ask to be referred to counselling or other support services in your area.

You deserve care and support so please, @Ricky68, get in touch with one of these services.

Take good care,

Abi
