Sorry for your loss, my partner was 66 too. He died suddenly 7 months ago. I’m still just taking it one day at a time as there is no future, I can’t even begin to think about that. I hate not being part of a couple and living alone now. My neighbours don’t even ask how I am. I think I 'm invisible.

Hi

I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost your husband too. Mine died suddenly last summer, he was 68. I think we are all pretty much in the same boat. We have spent our lives as a couple and now have no idea how to carry on alone.

But we do it, one day at a time. I find looking too far ahead impossible. Have you been to any bereavement groups? I go to one occasionally and the people there are lovely. There is also a counsellor you can speak to privately if you want to.

Keep posting here, it’s a wonderful friendly group. There will always be someone along with advice or just a friendly ear.

Take care, Helen x

Norma that’s one of the hard things I think after the terrible loss and grief to contend with we just seem to fade away and become invisible to people. It makes loneliness much harder to deal with. I feel actively being avoided by people. Dont know if it’s because they are uncomfortable and dont know what to say or frightened it will rub off on them ,either way it hurts. Im sorry you feel the same .
