There are days when I just get on with things but never forgetting my Rob and there are days when I just sob and just can’t be bothered with anything or anyone.
Today I went for a walk and a coffee with one of Robs mates and it was lovely to sit and just chat about anything really and feel being with a link to Rob. Rob and Dave go back a long way and Dave was the first person Rob introduced me to ( even before his parents) .
Today was one of the day where I was feeling a bit down and I really needed this it was as if Dave knew I was on a downer.
Then as I get back home like an idiot I started to fill up and cry in front of Dave it just comes from nowhere and I have no control over it I hate it when this happens because I think people won’t want to be around me if I’m crying all the time . How do others cope or control this thanks Karen
Being an old friend he would understand when tears come out of nowhere.
I don’t cry as much as I used to in public, but sometimes you just can’t help it. It only takes a memory, a kind word or just some random thing that can bring tears, I don’t think it’s something you can control.
People that know you well will understand.

Hi Karen,
Those tears just happen and as Debbie said Dave would totally understand. It is coming up to six months since my husband died and I have those tears quite a bit.
Take care.x
Hi Karen,
You describe exactly how I feel, some days I think I can do this then others I cry all day and want to be left alone.
I love talking about Pete and sometimes I can be fine but then other times I get really overwhelmed and can’t stop sobbing, it often happens with people I don’t know very well and I’m sure it makes them uncomfortable but I have no control over it.
I’m sure people are getting fed up with me.
I wish I had some answers.

Hi, I often do this .
Remember it’s born out of utter love for that person, the loss is massive .I’ve told myself to cope that she absolutely knew I loved her and would struggle , this calms me down as I can’t go on like I am .
Friends will understand if you cry , that’s why they are friends.
Hi,
The one thing I do get a little comfort from is the fact that Pete knew how much I loved him, we both told each other all the time and the last words we spoke to each other were " I love you" although we had no idea it would be the for the last time.
