Does anyone else experience nightmares after losing their partner.
I am having panic attacks after having a very bad dream. I feel pain in my flesh.
I feel pain on my skin & inside.

Hello @Peace02 . I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this.
It has been 21 months for me now, but I remember those physical feelings in the early weeks and months. It is very disturbing to wake that way and unpleasant to start your day in pain. It doesn’t set you up well for the day ahead, does it?
Grief has many physical symptoms which other people do not understand or even imagine until it happens to them.
This is a time for you to really take care of yourself; try to rest whenever you can, eat nourishing food and don’t try to fight your feelings.
Hope this helps. Take care.
