I am new to this group so a little anxious. I am a widow of nearly seven years and miss my husband, soul mate of 38 years so very much. The days are long. I don’t know how to be content. I feel embarassed because so many people are in a worse situation. I feel so lonely.

Hi Pisces
Sorry for your loss. Mine was 14th December. My heart goes out to you. Please don’t feel embarrassed. Yes there are lots of us dealing with this awful emotion but don’t compare yourself to others. You can only deal with your circumstances and how they impact you. That’s enough to deal with.
Don’t feel you have a lesser] right to be on here because you don’t feel it’s not as bad as some others . It doesn’t work that way. I take no joy reading others losses on here but take comfort from the group as a whole. Just deal with your loss it’s not a competition on who has the worst set of circumstances .We can only deal with our own .its enough Here for you x

Gosh please don’t feel guilty that others have it worse ! We all suffer after loss . My hubby died over 4 years ago but I miss him every hour of every day . Some days ( and nights) worse than others ! I fill my time as best I can and have lovely family and friends BUT they all have their own separate lives too which is only right . So we are allowed to feel sad - how strange if we didn’t 
. Sadly we have to carry on and take each day as it comes . I’m sure like me you do that but sometimes it’s sooo very hard . Sending caring and understanding thoughts

It helps to know you understand. I have lovely friends but of course they can’t understand how hard it is sometimes and I wouldn’t wish it on them. Thank you for replying.x
