So have i its been 3 weeks as yesterday its such a lonely life i hate it. Xxxx
I wake up feeling sick and nauseous every morning. It takes me ages till I can face eating anything.
You and me both i dont cook i just grab stuff crisps biscuits etc. Xxx
How do you manage for food if you canāt go out? Do you get deliveries or does someone get things for you?
You should try and eat some proper food. I tend to have a microwave shepherds pie or something. Canāt be bothered to cook for myself.
I have found tinned soup to be good. I can usually eat some of it at least. I am ashamed to admit that I watch tv while I am eating it.

Jim always loved my cooking and it gives me comfort to cook now . I live with my mum so i cook for her .
Now that is impressive!
I used to cook everything from scratch, but for the last 6 weeks I havenāt done much. The daft thing is that I have meals for three in the freezer. I make more effort when my daughter is here, using two of the portions and having the remainder for my lunch the next day. But I usually end up putting most of it in the bin. Wasting food has always been a pet hate of mine, but if I force myself to eat it just makes me feel ill.
Well done, you, I am very impressed. And hopefully I will return to cooking properly soon.

You have expressed exactly my own sentiments. I had to turn our bedroom furniture around to avoid the memories of his corner. Your thoughts are what we all go through with just weeks on a journey we donāt want to take yet have been forced to undertake. Itās just awful. Donāt pay attention to the comments about negativity. My Lord this is not negativity this is a forum for grief and grieving in all its shapes and forms.

Willow112 What does it matter if you eat while watching TV , it is better than sitting there on your own at a table. TV, Radio etc is company and connects us to the outside world in a sort of way. I never sit at the table now unless I have visitors. I have one of those cushiony trays they are great !. i also eat more ready meals than I ever have, but they are not so bad if you read the ingredients they are more or less what you would use at home so donāt beat yourselves up about using them and most of them taste quite nice too. I enjoyed a lasagne and a salad on Saturday night and even treated myself to a glass of red wine to go with it. I quite enjoyed it and i would not start cooking something like that nowā¦havenāt got the energy or the will to cook now.

I make a bit of effort when my daughter is here. When I am on my own I only eat because I know I have to look after myself for her sake. I donāt really want it, watching tv takes my mind off eating. I just shove it in my mouth and swallow . But I do have a multivitamin tablet each day.

@Willow112 how to cope I have no idea, Iām 9 months into my grief and on holiday with family and couldnāt feel more alone. Itās very odd but I have lost half of myself, my confidant, my confidence, all I see are families supporting each other and I donāt have my special caring thoughtful partner to chat and mull things over with Iām so lost and sad x

I really feel your pain 
i have to eat because Iām diabetic and the first week i harder ate anything and Iāve got my husband coat and jacket on the back of the chairs in dining room and everything else is still where it was and he has a mad cave or shed and Iāve not got the heart to move anything and i keep ordering to much food. Iām like you miss him next to me in bed or just chatting at the dinner table and going out for walks with our son. Itās heartbreaking xx
