Hello @paul14,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community. I’m so sorry to hear about your wife. It’s really common for people who are grieving not to know where to start. 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.
-
Our Grief Guide self-help platform which has information, resources and advice to help you through your grief
-
Our Bereavement Information pages which can walk you through what you are going through.
If you think your daughter could use some extra support, Winston’s Wish provides grief and bereavement support for children and young people (up to 25) after the death of someone important. They have a helpline that you can call free on 08088 020 021 between 8am-8pm, weekdays. They also have a live chat feature on their website.
I really hope you find the community helpful and a good source of support and I also hope you feel you can access more support should you need it.
Take care,
Seaneen

You are not alone. I lost my wonderful husband only a few weeks ago the pain is deep my heart is broken. Life will never be the same. So many are experiencing the very same feelings, so many posts on here saying the same things. We are not alone though it may seem it others also express how they are struggling to cope to move on. I don’t know how I’m going to move on as I’m sure you don’t know how you will. Time? I don’t know. We’ve got to keep going we’ve got to. You are not alone!

Hi Paul
I lost my wife this October just gone, it must be very difficult for yourself and your daughter, my condolences to you. My wife died after a very brave fight with bowl cancer last just over 2 years. In that time she was on various forms of Chemotherapy.
For myself, I have ok days and terrible days, most of the time I feel drained. Yours is even more difficult as you have your daughter and her grief to deal with. I truly hope you and your daughter find some peace at this terrible time.
My thoughts

I am so sorry for your loss, my husband died suddenly 4 months ago just before hit 65 birthday. I can’t give you any advice on how to support your daughter as well as cope with your own grief. My children are all grown up . Is it possible your daughter could have some counselling at school if she needs some support. I have good days and bad days .
