Woke this morning and realised that for the first time in 53 years I am not starting a New Year with my wife. This has been more emotionally overwhelming than anytime since her passing. I have a very close and supportive family but they have their own grieving process to go through without the extra burden of ‘dad’. I thought it would help to be part of this community of others who are going through similar, I know I am not alone.
Peace to you all at this difficult time.

My husband died suddenly and unexpectedly just 6 weeks ago…
The shock is huge - was there in morning - went to work - collapsed and died. He was 60.
It feels like and earth quake has happened.
Im trying not to burden my family and trying to cope on my own as much as possible - but life is so lonely and boring in the house on my own
