How to deal with devastating pain and unable to function

Chessboard, I am sorry for your loss, It is very recent so you are probably still in shock, look after yourself, make sure you eat and drink especially in this hot weather. You cared for your partner 24-7 because of his Parkinson’s I understand as I looked after my Darling wife who had Parkinson’s. There is such a huge hole in your life because you spent so much time and love looking after him. I know what that is like, when my Darling left me, I could not understand why I was here, I had no purpose. I just took baby steps, my son and daughter were very supportive and I found this site. The people on here understand as they are also going through the loss of a Partner. Come on for a chat, a rant against the world or just a ramble. We all do and I find that it helps me. If you feel really bad try and see your GP/Doctor. Otherwise just try and get though one day at a time. Hope to here from you soon.

I am so sorry for your loss, it will be a year next month since my darling husband passed away 7 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer. I thought then that life would never be the same again and I was right it is just different. Allow yourself time to grieve and be kind to yourself, cry when you need to. I was told the deeper the grief the deeper the love you had. I couldn’t function at first but slowly taking one day at a time I am feeling I can function. There will be better days ahead for you not tomorrow or next week but there will come the night you don’t cry yourself to sleep or wake up crying. We were married for 52 very happy years.
