Can you acquire broth and baby food puree? Both I could keep down, select the flavors, and are nutritious, also they come in small disposable portions.

Yes I can I will give it a try thanks
I just wanted to ask everyone’s opinion so the funeral home has asked if I want an open casket at first i said yes but now I’m thinking is it a good idea to see him that way

I would say do what YOU find comfortable for you.
Don’t think what anyone else might think.
You are the important one here you will know in your heart what feels right for you.
No rights no wrongs think of yourself now

I went to see my husband a few hours after he died, I knew it would be the last time. All I can say was I felt like it wasn’t him anymore.
You must do what is right for you, no one else but if in doubt I wouldn’t. Our best memories should be of happy times.

That is so true thank you
You do what is right for you. I considered being my partner home before the funeral as he was Greek Orthodox and I’m of Irish origin. Unfortunately we waited almost three weeks for the post mortem. His sister was coming from abroad and she had said she preferred to remember him as he was. I saw him once at the funeral parlour and I was glad I did. Do what makes you feel comfortable.

So sorry for your loss. It has been 12 weeks and 2 days since my husband had a heart attack and passed away. It was sudden and without any signs. I am devastated. I couldn’t eat but now it’s mainly just surviving, take each day as it comes. I cry lots and walk every day. I am lost without him and scared of the future- I don’t want to be in my own without him. I started counselling it was only 2 weeks ago so not sure of its impact. Keep posting on here as I found that others in the same situation provided me with some shared understanding of my grief. I’m still scared. I actually cannot believe it has been 12 weeks- feels like yesterday. I go to bed late so that I am tired. I get about 4 hours sleep but that is ok.

I know it is hard. I feel the same. I think just get by hour by hour. Try going for a daily walk it seems to help being in the fresh air. I also have made a new morning routine so that I am not thinking of what I would be going. I find evenings at the weekend so hard as I am often on my own for a few hours . My friends have taken me out but I am really ready for busy places. I keep thinking I want him here not this.

I can feel everything you are going through. Its been nearly 10 month and it hurts more than ever but we will all through this for our loved one because its what they would want. I am thinking of you xx

Hi Keltom,
I’m so sorry about you losing your partner! I know it’s hard for you. My husband died in 2024 of lung cancer and I still miss him terribly. We were married for 30 years. However, I do know that he’s up in Heaven with God and Jesus and that we’ll be together again eventually in Heaven in God’s time. But it’s not easy being left behind. What do you do now? I started by changing the house around a little so it’s more my house and not stored with memories continually. I also donated my husband’s clothes and gave away his electric saws and tools. Things I would never use. That way you aren’t faced with the fact that he’s not there everytime you find a hammer. Remember your partner and all the good times you had. Talk to your partner too. It helps. Every night I work on a jig saw puzzle which is on a special table my husband made. We loved to do jigsaw puzzles! I also have his watch on the table and I always tell him when I find a piece I’m looking for! It keeps the loneliness at bay for a while.
Also give your problems and sadness up to God and ask for his help and you will get it. I did that and God has helped me get through this sad time a lot. It takes time but life will be better. Be glad that you had such a nice person in your life. Many people aren’t that lucky.
I’ll say a prayer for you.
I wish you the best.
Snowy Evening

So sorry for loss, my husband passed away last November Im riddled with grief still in disbelief angry tearful but deep down I know I really have to look after myself otherwise Im going to go downhill fast. I make sure I am out every morning sometimes I go to town and just have a coffee, I sit and people watch have the odd conversation with someone. I have also started to go for a walk early evening no matter what the weather! for about 45 minutes otherwise its a long night. I have only just started cooking proper meals to try and build myself up and keep healthy. Thinking of you all that’s going through this difficult time

Hi Rosa
I am the same . My husband past in November and I am completely devastated. I am beginning to sort a few things out and like you walk every day. It’s hard and only those who experience this loss can understand the pain of grief. Keeping our minds and bodies going is a must but very hard at times. I guess our grief is new but I don’t think I will ever feel differently and that is ok. I started therapy with a grief councillor and not sure what it’s doing but I will keep going with it. I will return to work in 2 weeks easing myself in just doing a few days. Mainly as I need a distraction.

My husband passed here at home Nov 2025 too. A Friday. Today is Friday. Yes the tears flow, I looked at the clock at the time he passed. This grief is so very hard. Every day I go for a walk, every day I come back to a quiet empty house. I watch rubbish on the TV just for sound and not to be alone. I wake continually through the night. I’m now trying to eat more sensibly. Nothing has any meaning now. The future? What can the future be without my wonderful husband in it, he was and still is the love of my life. I miss him so much. Today isn’t a good day
