I donā€™t know anything any more. Life is a existence !

Keith68,
I understand although I am much earlier in this, but agree life now is so so depressing, and there is no end in sight.
Just the dull never ending pan interrupted by tears when the pain get too much. Donā€™t know what can be done to improve this Sh1T and kinky experiance

Donā€™t know where kinky came from but it at least made me smile

It made me smile too!

Everything you wrote resonates with me. I still donā€™t have any good days, almost 9 months in. Itā€™s just that never-ending pain that you try so hard to cope with until you just canā€™t take it anymore and break down in tears. Hugs from me. :people_hugging:

Its been four years since I lost my husband and I can relate to all of those signs on the list. I thought I was coping but I was existing, iā€™ve finally admitted to myself I need help and have been referred for bereavement counselling. Iā€™m hoping this will help. xx

Fingers crossed for you. :crossed_fingers: Everything about losing a loved one is so awful and we need to try whatever we can try to make it more bearable.

Hi hope you are ok, you will have days and moments when a thought or memory pops into your head. Itā€™s happened to me and is totally random. We are here for you!

It is such a difficult time. You will have good and bad days but you can always find some comfort on this site.

Itā€™s a good site, I do feel thereā€™s a lot of genuine people on here too. I just wished I could give them a hug in real time and not online. Itā€™s a shame there no group sessions connected to here. It could be very helpful as meeting people in a similar position does help. It always helps talking to other people that are in a similar position to you. Some one mention doing meet up, but thatā€™s different people at different places in their life. If you have nothing in common, it fail.

It would lovely to give everyone a real hug instead of virtual hugs, i wish i lived closervto alot of you. As i dont travel due to my agrophobia xxx

I have booked a holiday to Kos end of September - I definitely didnā€™t want to be at home for what wouldā€™ve been our Silver wedding & my Birthday.
Iā€™m actually looking forward to it - take a good book, my AirPods & my music & just chill.
Mingle & chat to others as I feel the need tošŸ˜Š
Will be nice to cool down in the sea during the day & dress up for dinner.
Itā€™s the simple things that make me happy
