One month later

Today is exactly one calendar month since my beloved wife finally slipped away from me ……

I miss her so much but watching her grow more and more poorly was dreadful and I am consoled knowing she is at eternal peace and comfort, I know she wanted me to try and restart my life with a new ‘normal’ after her funeral on Monday, the chapel was heaving and we gave her a good send off.

I am moving forward slowly but today was definitely a step backwards …… and I know they will come along and knock me sideways from time to time

Zero energy zero motivation

Hi @Cat_fan,

Thank you so much for sharing this with the community :blue_heart: So many mixed emotions you are feeling a month after losing your beautiful wife. I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I just wanted to let you know that you have been heard and you are not alone.

Take good care,
Alex

I have some very good friends, my friend I met tonight (and his wife) have lost three parents between they in less than 2 years and are both very supportive and understanding

Hi @Cat_fan hello again. Yes, expect your grief to rollercoaster through spikes and valleys. It sounds like you’ve had a very emotional week. Don’t place any expectations upon yourself about your future. Keep dealing with the day to day and use those amazing friends around you. Best wishes xx

My Joan died suddenly in february, the way I look at this is that she is safe, wherever she is, and I don’t have to worry about her any more ,but now I need to focus on what I do now, how do I live without her, can I live without her ?
My strategy is to just to survive until I can concentrate on my life,which continues , and live it to the fullest to honour her, not much success so far but I’m still trying.

Your wife would be able to find eternal peace and rest once she can see that your troubled heart and soul is healing.

It’s hard to think about yourself but she would not want to see you in turmoil and heartbreak
