Coping with bereavement
1

I lost the love if my life very suddenly on the 26th February this year, I had to do CPR on him it was so hard. Now I feel guilty, did I do it right was there anything else I could of done, what if!
Now due to health problems I’m having to move, part of me feels like I’ll be leaving him behind. We were supposed to moving together so I feel guilty that I’m getting everything We wanted, ground floor flat with a small garden.
I have a wonderful family but feel so alone all the time, I fight back my tears everytime someone talks about you. Will this feeling of loneliness ever go away!
I love my family very much but I’m very very close to the edge and I’m so so scared. I just want to close my eyes and never wake up. Sorry to rattle on, but if you’ve read it then thank you for taking the time to read it
