I have been widowed twice first time when I was 45 twenty three years ago , then two years ago, though devastating on both occasions I find now being older much more difficult, I don’t know if it is because my children were young and I was kept busy and I was still working , Now after two years I feel I should be moving on but all I do is exist , same routine of nothingness every day . I joined this. Community 18 months ago and I do find comfort reading messages but it seems everyone is newly bereaved (within a year ) I wonder if people whose loss was over two years ago no longer need the forum and have moved on ?

Hi,it’s 20 months since my husband died, I definitely still need this site,I’m sure my work colleagues think I should be (over it) by now.even though I talk about my husband every opportunity I have, we never had friends, we were always enough for each other. I can’t let my adult kids know how tough it is for me,I don’t ever want to be a burden to them, they have their own lives to live, so this site lets me put my true feelings down ,and get the support I need, xtake carex

Hi @MargaretW , it’s coming up for 27 months for me, yes I still use the forum.
Mostly I read and occasionally post, but there is one thread I post on regularly as it’s become more like friends chatting about our everyday lives.
Love Debbie x
Hi Margaret,
There’s quite a few who still use this forum.
It’s often difficult to tell family & friends how your doing, but we all understand here.
