I lost my wife at 42 on Sunday, and I’m really struggling to cope. I feel empty inside with absolutely nothing to look forward to in life😢

So sorry. You will find lots of understanding and support here. We are all in the same boat, at different stages and different circumstances.

So sorry. It’s very hard. Take care of yourself, try and rest and eat if you can, and just try and get through each hour. The rest can wait for now.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my wife 28 months ago now, very suddenly. Although the first few months, first year even are very difficult, I want to reassure you that it will get easier.
You probably don’t believe me (I didn’t either), but honestly it will. There are a lot of resources out there to help you with managing grief and advice on widowhood. Make maximum use of them when you feel ready, I found them incredibly helpful. I also found writing to my wife via a journal to be really beneficial too. Perhaps you could give that a try?
I know what you are going through and how terrible it is, but it will get better and you are not alone. Thinking of you at this very difficult time.

So sorry to hear about your wife. There are lovely people in these chats and we try to help you. I lost my husband 3 months ago and I am trying to adapt to my new life alone. My coping mechanism is to keep myself busy and plan “nice” things to do. In the early days I took whatever help was offered and I still do - I had the whole family sorting our large garden yesterday! Please look after yourself x
