My husband passed away in 2016 but i’m still finding it very difficult to come to terms with the loss. I was his main carer for 6 years before he passed. It never seems to get any easier for me. I also lost my mum exactly a year before in 2015.

Hello… I’m sending you a warm hug and my support

Hello Ben21. I am sorry that you are still having such a hard time. My darling wife of 52 years had Parkinson’s diagnosed back in 1994, I was her carer, Parkinson’s is a progressive disease and the level of help slowly went up I went self employed over 20 years ago so I had time to look after her, we did most thing together. So I really do understand your loss. There is such a huge hole in your life, the time you spent caring for him is hard to fill. At first I wondered why was I still here, my purpose in life had gone. One damp dark evening I was walking down to the village and it suddenly struck me, How could my darling wife have managed on her own ? Just not possible, she did not want to go into a home. In my grief I just thought I am glad she is not going through this, it is hard for me but would have been much harder for her. I just wish we could have had a few more years. I am lucky there is quite a lot going on in the village, A Bereavement cafe, Pickaflick, which is a film followed by a light lunch, and I go to a book club. All are once a month and I get some social interaction which helps. Hopefully thing will take a turn for the better for you soon. Anyway enough of a ramble from me, come back for a chat, on here we all understand the loss you have.

So sorry for your loss Maggie.
I lost my wife 10 weeks ago today, so I fully understand the pain you are going through.
I try to keep busy every day, but I still end up sobbing at various times.
They say grief is the price you pay for love and that’s so true.
You take care
