Trying to put on a brave face

I lost my husband 3 weeks on Thursday I pretend I’m fine but when I’m alone I break down. I feel so lost

Hi sorry for the loss of your husband I lost my partner in May sometimes I will say I’m ok when I’m not which makes me feel worse. It’s better so say exactly how you are feeling because you are grieving cry as much as you need to and get lots of support .

Hi Uni (i hope you dont mind me me calling you that? ) your nightmare has just began .Iagree you need to be yourself and not pretend .Everybody on here and in the world,goes through there nightmare in different ways .There isnt a magic formula to its .Maybe go to your doctors for help ? medication can help some people other think not (im on medication )Devasting help apart from on here wont come to you .You will have to find it for yourself .Take things day by day dont plan what you dont have to .Try and have some me time because your nightmare will patiently wait for you .It doesnt need food or sleep which to you are important to help you carry on and live through this .How long is a piece of string definitely applies.Keep coming back here im sure youll get replys and maybe find someone or more than 1 person you connect with Colin (im 59 my darling Denise passed 04032016 on her 41st birthday )

Thank you for the reply, I am finding the nights to be worst, I try to keep busy during the day but these long dark nights and not sleeping is the worst time.

Thank you for your reply, I agree this is only the beginning of a long road. My son is a good help but he is also grieving as last year I also list my father in January then my husbands father in June

Thank you Sheila, your right I should say how I feel, guess I’m just worried I drive the little family I have left away.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I fully understand what your going through. I too list my husband without warning 5 weeks ago. I have been putting on a brave face as my father has cancer and my mother is needing support and my son is autistic. I have only now 5 weeks down the line begun to understand what has happened. I like you have lost one if the greatest loves of my life. I put a brave face on for everyone but like you when I’m alone I cry and cry. The pain is too much to bear thinking about him. I try to keep myself distracted but know I must face that he’s not here anymore.
