7 weeks isn’t long at all, feeling lost and lonely is something we all go through when we have lost our husband or indeed any other family member. I found it helpful to read others posts as it gives some comfort to know you are not alone in your feelings and there are lots of suggestions for support. My husband passed away 4 months ago and I have signed up to the grief coach and widow groups both have been helpful. I hope you can find some support from this forum as you will be feeling very bewildered right now

I’m the same. It will be 3 months on Friday since my world ended. Sitting here tonight, hearing all the fireworks…. I’m so lonely, even though I have supportive family and friends. My Martin was only 47 and we had so many plans for the future. I try not to think beyond tomorrow…. Sending love x💔

@Dottie72 I’m so sorry for your loss
My partner was 46 last week likewise some plans made like more travel …having a baby … but other wise just doing everyday things .
He went to work one day and didn’t come home .
I have been informed that there will be an inquest so I’m having to wait possibly 6 to 9 mths
Im just so heartbroken…numb… exhausted and alone
Thank you for your reply I truly appreciate it x

It’s four months since my husband died suddenly.
Every time I close my eyes l see him in intensive care trying to breathe
I only get some sleep when l can’t stay awake, then l wake up again.
I like to say it’s getting better but l can’t.

So sad for you and very early days but time is definitely a healer though its an easy thing to say. You must be numb with shock and disbelief. Sending best wishes and love. My first husband died aged 44 but looking back felt I coped better then than now 30 years later with my second husband passing away. Guess I was still at work and had my daughter at home. Feel a bit old and past it now but lots of happy memories.
