Im sick of friends commenting on how much weight Ive lost, it isnt helpful and is adding to my anxiety. I dont think they understand how hard it is to actually eat a meal, I force myself to eat although Im gagging as I swallow. Im so sorry that you also are experiencing the same, I was beginning to think I should be pulling myself together but I see now that its quite normal after losing a loved one.
Thanks for listening, it really helps x

Me too 3 people said in the same day wow youve lost weight and like you makes me anxious 
i make home made soups and freeze them. cannot stomach lumps even if i force it.

I think Iāll try making soup, its easy to get down, chewing makes me feel sick. I used to love food but I guess one day my appetite will return. This is a side to grief that I never thought Iād experience, mind and body in conflict x

Iām sorry to hear you have lost your wife, grief is the worst feeling in the world and its so hard to deal with. I do find sharing feelings and daily struggles on here helps, I have realized I am not alone. Look after yourself, its what your wife would want you to do x
Hi Chelle Thanks for checking in with me. I have bought a soup maker so I just need to start making soups as I have no excuse now! One of my friends who is a nurse said that grief anxiety can physically affect your stomach as we are in āflight or fight modeā where our blood diverts from the stomach to our heart and lungs and we produce less saliva which is key to appetite . So at least there is a medical reason why some of us have problems eating after bereavement. How are you managing this week? Love and hugs to everyone struggling with the physical impact of bereavement xxxx
