5 weeks ago tomorrow I lost my best friend my wife and my world, to breast cancer.
We had 25 fantastic years together but it will never be enough.
This doesn’t get easier and right now it feels so hard I can’t breathe. I feel like my world has been cut in half and I don’t see any point. I hear all the things people are telling me to do and I have support but I can’t be with people but I don’t want to be alone.
It’s that overwhelming hole in the world that only is invisible to most people. There is no fixing it indeed in some ways I don’t want to which sounds weird. The only thing that can help is having her here and I know that can’t happen.
How do I cope and how can you just live with this.
Hello @TanMen ,
I can see that you’re new to the community, so I wanted to say that I am so sorry for the loss of your wife that brings you here.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that may help right now.
- Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
- Our free Online Bereavement Counselling which is held via video chat
- Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.
Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.
Take care,
Alex
Hi,
I’m so sorry you are going through this. I lost my mum a few months ago and the pain is unbearable at times.
I don’t have any words of wisdom for you but please use your support network and always come on here. I found this site very useful and frequently read through posts to reinforce that I’m not the only one grieving.
Take care of yourself x
