Does anyone have their stomach churn within seconds of waking ? Does yours last on and off all day ?

Hi, I am really struggling with all the emotions of recently loosing my husband of 40 years, I feel the dread in my tummy, I feel sometimes I cannot breathe, my heart is broken, my other half has gone and I cannot see, touch, feel, hear talk to, hold his hand again , I feel completely lost, I miss him every minute of everyday.
How on earth do we carry on ? We can try to support each and everyone of us.
I cannot see “ life” without him.

I lost my husband February last year.
I wake every morning with anxiety, and have the fear of life without him.
I too don’t know how I can live without him, married for 54 years.
I don’t think I will make it without him, and it doesn’t seem a life worth living.
Apart from the loss and the grief, we have the suffering, mental health and loneliness problems to struggle with.
It helps reading these posts, as I know I am not the only one experiencing these emotions, feel as though I am going mad.

My digestive system started churning and acting up the day my husband died 15 weeks ago and hasn’t changed yet. I think it is the anxiety we feel. I’ve talked to my doctor and that is how we are handling it - anxiety.
Littlefeet, I am so very sorry that your husband died. I hope you find some comfort reading the threads here, it has helped me tremendously.
Kate, for me September 24, 2024. Still dazed and confused.
Much love.

Thank you. Much love back
I lost my Dad, my hero, last year in April. I had months of waking up with a churning stomach and tge feeling my heart was sinking - like real fear. This passed for a short while but has been back since xmas eve. I think its the thought of having a whole day ahead, carrying this grief.
A friend advised me to split the day into morning, afternoon, and evening, and just focus on whichever one you’re in. This helps me, somewhat

Thank you. The churning stomach is constant and my friend comes over to watch me eat as that’s when I actually don’t feel sick

My appetite vanishes too. I’ve gone days without food and only a small amount of fluid but it just makes you feel worse, so I’m glad your friend is helping high calorie milky protein drinks are a good way to get nutrients as well

I remember feeling as though I was experiencing turbulence in a plane every time I woke up in the early days.
Over two years now since my partner passed and although I still have bad nights I get this feeling much less frequently.

Thank you I know it’s very early days. It’s something I have to learn to live with myself. It’s so hard
