Hi all , I’m new to the community. I lost my husband 21 months ago , aged 52 . He was my best friend . Life just hurts so much without him, but I carry on and put the”mask” on . I don’t think people realise how hard it is to do things without him . I went out with an old school friend who has been very supportive, we went to a mini festival /show . But even just watching people stroll past and enjoying themselves just reminds me of how much I miss him . I hate seeing couple’s together, I hate how I’m just supposed to do life without him .

Hello @Feathers1,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support. In the meantime, you may wish to look at these Sue Ryder resources which might be helpful.

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.

Hi Feathers1, I am sorry for your loss. We are all suffering some form of loss on this site, so hopefully you can at least find some form of help via mutual understanding of grief.
It’s sad that we have to wear that mask in our day to day lives and pretend that we’re ‘fine’ when we just feel broken.
Share as much as you like and be as honest as you want to be here and I hope it helps.
I lost my partner 14 weeks ago now and I still speak to him and keep him updated on things through a journal. He was my soulmate and I know I will never let him go.
Take care

Thankyou for your kind message . I have read stories on here and I can resonate with how others are feeling,.Friends and family try and understand but it’s the everyday feeling , the little moments , that hurt some much , when it catches you and stabs you ! . I think I will find this group helpful , as we all know, there is no solution, no one can bring him back . We just have to try and carry on because there’s no other choice . Thankyou , again x
