I was a good distance runner for years, but now my motivation has gone. I feel numb, I want to run, but I can’t it’s like my feet are stuck in mud. Running always lifted my mood, I hope I can get back out there one day. I know my husband would want me to still be running, I miss it so much.
I wish he was still here, he would push me on. It’s so hard to deal with isn’t it.
Hi @Cassie_2024,
Thank you so much for sharing this with the community 
I’m so sorry that your motivation for running has gone. Lots of people will be able to relate to finding it difficult to get back into something you loved when you’re grieving.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I just wanted to let you know that you have been heard and you are not alone.
Take good care,
Harriet
Hi cassie, have you thought about joining a club or getting together with someone in your area. Being with others to start off might help you get back into the sport you love. I have found doing exercise even if It isn’t to your level to be very helpful while grieving. When I’m in pain I do pull ups to channel It and when I am down I walk and walk. I think that apart from reducing cortisol it also tires the body out which improves sleep.
Wishing you all the best
Tom
Hi Cassie, so sorry for your loss. I know its hard doing things we use to do when our partners were still here with us. I don’t know why that is, 
I guess we’re just broken inside 
I use to love working with wood, cutting, sanding and painting, and since my husband passed, I haven’t done anything,…my husband was also very supportive of my craft, ..maybe some day ill start again, who knows. Take care and God bless you
