10 weeks Since, my Rock, my everything passed. Jacqui I miss you.
I am not coping despite the brave face to friends. So much stuff that Jacqui did. Christmas is making it worse.
I don’t know how to face this, just so lonely.

I am sorry for your loss, my husband of 52 very happy years died in July 7 weeks after diagnosis. One bit of advice I was given was not to hold my grief in but to let it out, if you need to cry shout yell whatever just let it go. Everyone’s journey is different we do what we need to to get through each day. I have have found this group a great source of wisdom and comfort and hope you will too.

I’m sure you think at 10 weeks you should be feeling better but it’s still very early. You are coping, it’s just that you are in pain. It’s been 9 weeks for me and over those weeks I have sorted out so much paperwork, learning about gardening, learnt how to charge a car battery. There is so much more I need to learn and it’s very scary but every day I’m getting better at things. Miss him like crazy, and yes Christmas makes it harder. But I’ve put up the tree and doing my best to carry on. I’m not doing cards this year as not putting his name on them is just one step too far. But each night that I go to bed is another day I have got through. Just keep going doing what you can, one day at a time, one hour at a time if need be. Look at what you have achieved not what’s ahead. We can all do this, the reality is we really wish we didn’t have to.

So sorry for your loss. It is unbearable.
So sorry for your loss but you have done the correct thing joining this forum, it has been a huge help to me, speaking to others going through the same thing lets you know your not the only one feeling those things and its all the normal grieving process, which lasts as long as it lasts and we get through it the best we way we can with the help of family, friends and everyone on here.
Take care and look after yourself as best you can xxx
