Dave, with acid reflux it can help to be in a more upright position when sleeping. Mary used a ‘V’ pillow and it certainly helped her, although it might take a bit of getting used to if you normally slide flattish.
I lie on my side in bed ,i am getting a bit better x

Oh, Poppet, I wish there was some way I could help make you feel better but I know how hard it is, we are here without our soulmates, needing them so much, it is so painful and there is nothing we can do to bring them back to us.
I am sending you lots and lots of love and hugs and sincerely hope you feel better soon xx

Poppet was my Grandsons 15 birthday my daughter had family party for him everyone was laughing and talking i had to pretend i needed the toilet as tears were starting to fall i missed Chris so much strange how you can feel lonely in a room full of people you know but i kept thinking how he would never see my Grandson leave school grow up and get a job never see him get married, i felt broken. Managed to hold it together until i came home but been crying ever since. Should i still feel this way it’s been six months ? but feel worse instead of better so i know how you are feeling. Hope you have a better day tomorrow sending hugs x

It’s been 6 months for me too. It was very emotional taking our granddaughter to our caravan today as she has many happy memories of being there with her granny. It hit her today I think when she saw my wife’s personal stuff in the caravan but no sign of her. I still cry and still have intense feelings of loneliness. I have to be brave for my kids and grabdkids. It’s emotionally draining, knowing that I’m going to love her and miss her the rest of my life. However, my children and grandchildren have to suffer that loss a lot longer than I do. She went far too young.

Hi Dave. Try sleeping on your left side… it’s much better than your right for acid. Don’t know why but it does work. Good luck- I know how awful it is
Sorry for your loss, I was married for 31 years
And had a great life with my wife. She kept on getting chest infections every moth until last October when
She
Was admitted to hospital and died 10days later, I’m really struggling with life. I can’t cope without her. I’ve been suicidal I’ve got no will to do anything I’m not eating and losing weight I’ve lost 3 stone in 4 months
I’m not sleeping I just don’t know where to turn I don’t want to be here I’ve made bad decisions since my wife died and it’s affecting my life if you can call it that

@Abbys7 hi Mike, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I lost my husband 12 weeks ago aged 56, we had so much to look forward to and it breaks my heart that he went so young, we should have had a lot longer. Can I ask do you have any support, family or friends? Also have you considered speaking to your GP and maybe trying to get some counselling? This grief journey is so very hard and physically exhausting but it is important that you try to eat and keep yourself well, I’m absolutely sure your lovely wife would want you to. We all know exactly how you feel on this forum so reach out whenever you need to, you are not alone
Hi Mike. My wife died 6 months ago. I was utterly distraught but made the decision early on to see a counsellor. It’s not for everyone but it worked for me. Get your GP to refer you. The grief alone is bad enough without neglecting your own health. I’m definitely in a better place than I was. My wife wanted that. I’ll always love and miss her but I have got children and grandchildren to think of.
Thank you. I was seeing a councillor at the doctors but has since left,
My wife was 70 and I’m 60. I’ve just got no will or inclination to do anything. It’s completely destroying my life only eat to survive I’m not really getting any help with my grieving
I have a daughter and granddaughter which stops me from suicide but sometimes it’s not enough and I think about it quite a bit and I just don’t know where to turn. Thanks mike
