It’s been over a year since I lost my wife and although I think I’ve made huge strides to adapt to a new life today I’m feeling very alone. It’s not due to lack of family and friends or new activities, today I miss her more that ever, For the first time in a while I’ve wept and feel sad and down. The hole in my life seems particularly large today. I feel at at loss to know what to do.

Hello, your still in the early days, it’s great that your moving slowly into a new life but part of grief for me at least is that I feel better then for sometimes no reason I feel like I’ve gone back to when it first happened, then feel stronger then I feel low again, think it’s all part of grief & all we can do is roll with it.

@Ant33 As you say, you have come a long way this year, and I am sure it will not be the last time you weep. Was there anything that triggered you feelings today in particular?
You’ve done the right thing to post on here, as you know you are not alone, and many can offer comfort in times such as now.
I guess we all have to accept that this will be a part of us into the future, and it’s not a bad thing, it’s natural, and it is okay to not feel okay. You’re doing just fine.

Accept the day as it is.
Take the time to grieve, the grief doesn’t go away so I think sometimes we just have to open the door and let it in for a while…
Hugs
