Ron, so sorry for your loss.
I hope you have someone around you who can just be there, just so you are not alone.
This site is full of people who have experienced loss and grief, my wife passed away in April, I have never experienced anything to even come close to how I felt.
One day at a time helped me, along with a great sister and some close friends.
Sending my love.

I’m absolutely so sorry for your precious loss, although she’s left in the physical sense, she’s always with you and in time you’ll see the messages and signs she sends you. Sending you healing prayers and virtual hugs, you’re nevee alone :revolving_hearts:

Ron,
Keep posting here if it helps,.
Also cruse for counselling, your GP, Samaritans.
I truly believed I was going insane, talking and writing might help, anything that can give you some solace.

Bless your heart. Ron if possible try to get some sort of routine going, little walk perhaps each day, or do something you can look forward to, get the spring here and that awful desperate lost feeling will be behind you, and try to take a small step each day
And do keep letting your feelings out, being on here and chatting about your feelings will benefit you such a lot, remember little steps and try to think what your wife would say to you Ron
Hope this helped a bit, Dee

Just feel overwhelming got the funeral to arrange and all the money stuff

Hello Ron, try to pace the sorting funeral and funds it’s very stressful isn’t it, especially when we can hardly function anyway.
Is there anyone that can support you a little with the funeral at least?
Once you’ve past this side of sorting things, you can start making some progress in your grieving, seems so unkind when we’re thrown into this confusion at these heartbreaking times …
take care

If you receive certain benefits, there’s a funeral welfare fund you may be entitled to which will ease your financial burden. If you get in touch with your benefits advice shop they’ll be able to help you.
I just lost my father recently and had to organise the whole funeral myself but the local Undertaker I dealt with was absolutely fabulous and arranged everything as a whole package which was such a relief as I wouldn’t have known where to start.
I hope you have family and friends who are supportive around you, sending healing prayers :pray:
