Anybody able to tell me how to get through tomorrow? It’ll only be 3 weeks since my beloved Jill’s funeral and I can’t see how I’m going to get through tomorrow. No neighbours about and just broken my wrist so I can’t even drive somewhere.
Sure yhis will be an awful day for so many of us so any tips would be very welcome
I’m sorry I have no tips @PSHm3 as although it’s 11 months since my husband died it’s my first Valentine’s Day without him.
We didn’t really celebrate it at all - always a card though and sometimes flowers or a small gift, but I’ve woken this morning feeling awful too.
I think it’s more as our anniversary is looming and there was an awful lot going on this time last year.
Anyway I would just try take the day as it comes. You’re so early on in your grief it will still feel overwhelming and raw.
Just do what you can, try to distract yourself and don’t expect too much.
Reach out to others if they are around or keep posting here. I find it helps when others can truly understand what we are going through.
Sending some love and strength xx

Im so sorry for your loss.
I also can’t give you any tips for getting through today, this is the first time im alone on valentines day, I lost my beloved husband 12 weeks ago to cancer. I miss him. Today is just another day now
My heart goes out you too. Guess we’re both still very raw at the moment. Hard to believe it’s only 3 weeks since her funeral service though… it seems so much longer.Sadly today has always been a significant day for us as she moved in with me on this day a mere 10 years ago. It’s Jill’s birthday two weeks today so I’ll need to find a way to navigate that as well.
I hope you find a way through today.
You too. Whatever gets us through. It’s also the anniversary of when she moved in 10 years ago and her birthday’s only 2 weeks away. As you say, so many things to deal with.
Hope you get yhrough today as painlessly as possible.
