Need advice

Thanks Liz. I really want to get to the point where I can be happy at home. We were so happy here I would like to find some peace but at the moment I am just so very sad.

Hi @Woolly
Can i ask how long since you lost him?

X x

Only six weeks. I really thought I would be able to bring him home but it wasnā€™t to be.

Oh @Woolly
That is no time at all.
I remember so well being 6 weeks in. Thats when we had the funeral. And I remember so well how I felt my grief was starting all over again after the funeral was over.
But now Iā€™m much further on. 18 weeks.
I think it was about 3 weeks ago now that I suddenly realised that I was happy to be at home. At home. Our home. Now itā€™s my safe space. I do go out a few times in the week but now my days at home no longer hurt. I hope you will come to this too.
I never thought Iā€™d ever want to be here on my own, I really hated coming back to this empty house. But that all changed.
I still miss Roger terribly and I still cry, every day. Some more than others but Iā€™m content to be at home.

I hope that helps x x

Hiya Liz it helps to know that there is light somewhere down the line. Today as been a really tuff day. I am really struggling. Xxxx

Yes @jevncute
There is a light somewhere down this road
You will get there, step by step. It will come gradually. Youā€™ll just realise one day that you are starting to cope.

I too have had a tough day today. I received a text for Roger making him a hospital appointment for 15th July.
Iā€™m afraid I had a bit of a meltdown

Iā€™m ok now just very sad.

Hang on in there, you will learn to cope

Love and hugs
Liz x x

Oh what a shock to receive that text Liz. Must have upset you. Thank you for your helpful post. I whole i come to feel more content at home like you.

Thsnkyou @Woolly

Thereā€™s no way that I can tell you how to get there.
It just happened. I hope it happens to you too x x

I felt just like that earlier this morning. I eventually went and sat on the bench in the garden with a cup of coffee. It calmed me down. Just breathing deeply and looking at the garden, I think.
Hope you feel better soon. Xx

Itā€™s very early days for you and so hard to get motivated to do anything just be kind to yourself and do what you can.Itā€™s thirteenth months for me and still struggling with motivation.This morning I set myself three tasks I really needed to do and told myself I would feel better when I had done them well I did them and yes I do feel better for doing them.Itā€™s one step at a time.

Itā€™s the worst time of my life too I donā€™t have any immediate family either although I do have second cousins who help me as much as possible one phones me every morning but I donā€™t like asking for help.I also have very supportive friends but nobody can take away the pain of losing him.

Hiya Lyn I am really sorry your alone too that emptiness and lonliness is totally unbearable isnt it. I want to be anywhere but in this place they call Grief . Cccc

Iā€™ve got friends and family too and they are wonderful but the second they are out of the door Iā€™m sobbing. Just want my beloved back so much. Never imagined it would be as bad as this

Nor me darling its the worst pain in the world the empty feeling those tears you think will never stop. The lonilness is unbearable but i have been told its normal. Heres hoping they are right. Xxx
