Hi @Tracey57
So sorry to here how you are feeling
I know 8 months on for me too
Some days are worse than others
Thought i was doing ok then last week abd this week the wave of grief returned
Could be 3 years ago whenbibhad a cancer scare he was here to help me get through now 3 years on i have to face the 3 minthly check ups alone. Only another 7 years of monitoring all on my own makes me sad.
I have no family nearby and friends live over 2hrs away so only have phone calls but now these seem to be getting less. I understand everyone have busy lives soni just need to learn to get used to my own company.
I miss him all the time his sense of humour his blue eyes his being here and all the plans we had for retirement gone.
Life is too short now

Hi @Gibbo
So sorry to here of your loss.
It is very early days 6 weeks i remember how i felt back then. Now coming upto 9 months and no two days the same. I still cry some days but not as intense as back at the beginning. I miss him terribly and without him sometimes feels pointless but i know i must get through days and could face another 20+ years on my own so try to be strong and just take a day at a time.
We loved to travel so i miss that too but i have booked a coach trip in July to Ireland on my own. First trip without him not sure how that will be but im on my own no matter where i am.
Take care of yourself

I’m 6 months since losing my husband of 48 years. Having friends around has helped I’m sure but still clearing out his things which reduces me to a wreck. Financial pressures mean I have to urgently drastically downsize and move away from the area where I have those good friends. Family are 3.5 hours away so makes sense to move nearer them. Hate that it’s the Gov forcing me into this. He thought I would get half his state pension and be comfortable but in fact I only get 5%!! Just adds to the daily misery. If it wasn’t for my pets needing me …
Lynnex. Over here the guinness is the best u enjoy it
Lynne the guinness here is the best enjoy them
My late husband and I went to Dublin for 4 days year’s ago had the best time ever thoroughly enjoyed it plus my husband said the guineas was the best take care and enjoy
