My husband died from Glibostoma 9weeks ago I am back at work but today have just had the worst breakdown my life ended when he died, I am lost and just can’t see a reason to go on.
Hello @Christine66
I am so sorry for your loss and 9 weeks is very early days and you will have breakdowns. It is horrible to lose someone you love so much and the feelings of been lost are normal. I am nearly 6 months along now and can say i have glimpses of times i know i am a bit better but equally i have real bad days of just pure lonliness without my partner. Keep posting on here as it does help knowing everyone understands what you , and all of us, are going through.
Take care Linda
I am so sorry for your loss and you are so brave being back at work so soon.
After just 9 weeks it’s understandable you having a complete meltdown. The anguish is too much to bear. Give yourself time and try as best you can to be kind to yourself and listen to your instincts. It’s an extremely tough time and we all have to hope we can get through it and come out the other side and enjoy our memories of our loved ones with just a few tears…
Keep posting on here because everyone understands…
Dear Christine66
I also lost my lovely husband of 38 years 9 weeks ago. I will never know how you managed to go back to work so soon. I’m still in a state of shock and feel to be living in a fog. I am literally taking each day as it comes and try not to put myself under any extra pressure because I know I can’t cope with more. I hope you are able to get a doctor’s note and take time to rest to help recover from this excruciating pain . We are paying the price for true love and it’s so painful.
I lost my beloved on 24 August, just 4-months after his diagnosis. My work place have been good, so far, but is giving me some quite full on tasks to do from end of October onwards. It feels too early. Wondering if I should try to tell them to leave me alone a bit more? I guess I’m lucky to have a salary and generous sick pay.
Oesophageal cancer, and he had a stroke in June, so we haven’t had a conversation for a good while.
