Hello Debbie. I am only a year in on this tough journey. You can always chat on here. I am lucky a lot goes on in my village lots of Book Clubs, Probus, university of the 3rd age , Green Fingers, to name just a few. I try and get out a bit and get a bit of social chat. Maybe make a few new friends to have a coffee with. Your Local Library may well have one, our village has, or they may be able to put you in contact with one.

The one expert I’ve followed, D. Kessler, says early grief is 2 years. I think it takes a lot of time to feel semi-normal again. I’m at 15 mths. I can see some improvement, but not that much.
Nancy I have just passed the one year, this month. You are right I don’t think I will ever be over this, hopefully I will be able to manage it better.
I saw this " Time cannot heal a heartache or stop a silent tear or take away the memories of one we held so dear". I will always treasure the Happy good times and try and be grateful for those, But I also think I will still have the heartache and the odd tear.
