My husband passed away in August after a short but aggressive illness, he had a brain tumour. We only got the diagnosis on the 5th August and he passed away on the 10th August.
We had been together for 49 years and married for 45 years we were such a close couple and done everything together even working together.
I miss him terribly, the heartbreak and loneliness is awful but I am trying to make myself do stuff with friends and family, which is what he wanted me to do, I do have to make myself.
I do cry, some days a few tears then other days absolutely devastated. Then I have days when I feel nothing, as if nothing has changed…is this normal.
.has anyone else felt like this…I really dont know what to think…it worries me…? x
It’s absolutely normal. The shock of losing a life partner is like nothing else. It’s surreal sometimes, unbelievable that they’ve gone.
I’m so sorry for your loss, it was so sudden and such a short time for you.
Don’t worry, just take each wave as it hits you, for that’s what they are, waves of grief. It will get slightly better for you hopefully but it takes time…and time is all we have. Take care xx
Thankyou so much …I do worry when I feel nothing it feels so wrong. X
I have the same feelings as if I’m just waiting for him to come home then other days the stark reality is there and I don’t understand my own feelings if I feel anything at all but it is only a short time
I broke down when I saw his headstone for the first time so I wonder if I have put up a barrier to protect myself especially as I’m having to go out more and see people, today I told a friend at the gym that my husband had died which was the worst thing ever and obviously it’s a shock to them so they don’t know what to say and then I wish I had not said anything, it’s all such a battle I feel very tired, hugs to everyone xx
Thankyou for your message, I think your so right but it’s so hard as it feels like you’ve got over and in my whole being I will never do that I know that so it feels so wrong.
But your right its probably my brain and body protecting me in some way…
Thankyou x
