I lost my husband 7 weeks ago, I’m really struggling to accept that I will never see him again and miss him so much, I have support from my two grown up daughters but all I want is my husband back. I can’t see my future without him it’s so hard.

I’m glad that you have found this site. We on here understand what you are experiencing. Read and post, get it all out, and hopefully we will buoy you up until you get stronger. And you will, although it doesn’t seem like it today.
Thank you so much, I feel like I’m going crazy and no one understands.
So sorry for your loss. Everyone here understands. I think you do go a little crazy in those early weeks; it’s just a fog of unbearable pain and grief. Just look after yourself, and don’t think about anything other than getting through one day at a time.
I dread evenings and weekends when we’d have been together, it’s so quiet and lonely. I have my daughter’s and two little grandsons but it’s not the same, we are all so close and we miss him so much. Some days I really can’t see how I’m going to get through this or even want to without him. I sometimes feel resentment towards my family because if they weren’t here I wouldn’t even try, but I look at my grandsons and know my husband loved them so much, I’ve got to try and get through for them it’s what he would have wanted.

Gtracer, I am on week 14 having lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack. Be kind to yourself and don’t expect too much. Our grandchildren keep me going, and I have booked massages and pedicures for a bit of “me” time.
No one who hasn’t experienced what we have will understand how we feel, and none of us will feel exactly the same. Grief is so difficult
I am trying to plan things in the future, my friend is coming with me on a cruise we had booked for next year and to be honest she will probably be better company as my husband wasn’t very peopley! And he didn’t like silent discos so I used to go on my own to them anyway! We basically grew up together as I was 17 when we met (I am now 60) and it feels very odd without him. Take each day at a time and look for something positive (like a hug from your grandchildren) xx

I understand how you feel. It’s five weeks since my partner died and I feel numb inside. I cry alone for hours then try to put on a brave face for people. My friends and family are doing their best to distract me and take me for walks or a coffee but hen it’s home to an empty house and I feel the dread and sadness all over again.

It’s so nice to be in contact with people that understand how I’m feeling, just sad that it’s under these circumstances.
