Weekends are lonely

I am finding weekends so lonely and the grief hits me more. I lost my husband of 40 years 8 months ago. Sudden death, totally unexpected. He died at work. We used to go out st weekends. Bird sanctuary, shopping, or even just a drive out somewhere. Now i have nothing. I am recently gone back to work so week days are bearable and evenings in week are quiet but weekends are so hard. He was my life, i dont drive and dont have hardly any friends. Bereavement has left me with anxiety. hope that that this gets better in time.

@Hazell im so sorry for your loss!! it really is the most cruel thing to have to go through… i find the weekends extremely hard, i do have children but even though i have them i have the constant pain of missing shaun. we used to love the weekends, just spending it together as would be busy in week with work. we always used to do something, go for a walk, food, family time… now i just sit here and feel so alone and in pain…
sending you lots of love i really do know how horrible it is x

The majority of people perform well in a crisis and when the spotlight is on them . It’s the Sunday afternoons of this life , when nobody is looking that the spirit falters .

I find this is so very very true .

It’s an Alan Bennett quote .

The problem with bereavement as in losing your soulmate is no one unless it’s happened to them has a clue how dreadful it can be :cry:. Sending caring thoughts :two_hearts:
