What's the point?

I feel absolutely desolate. It’s been ten months since Steve suddenly died, and I really just don’t want to be here anymore. I know it’s selfish as we have children and grandchildren but i just want to go to bed and not wake up. I have no idea what I’m supposed to do with my life, we’d never discussed death or dying or what we would do. He was only 64 and he was my whole world. I feel hollow, invisible and so burdened down with sadness I can barely function. Please tell me it becomes more manageable. Thank you for reading.

Hi. Im so sorry you lost your love. My husband passed away in August at 45. 10 days of him being gone, while on the phone to the samaritans who were desperately trying to help me. I’m glad i didn’t do it but, i still would give up everything to have him back. I try and get out for a walk every day but its lonely. I can’t tell you when or how you will find your strength again, one day you just will maybe find yourself smiling at a happy memory of him. Keep cominng here too. I had so many lovely replies when i first joined x.

I’m so sorry for your loss and I share your pain.
I too lost my beloved so suddenly 7 months ago.
He was my soulmate, my whole world. We were so close & inseparable. My world crumbled the day I lost him. There were days that I felt I was losing the will to live! However, I’ve recently decided that I am going to live my life for the both of us, carry on doing whatever we used to do together for the both of us - he will always be in my heart and my mind each day till the day I join him. Not sure if it works for everyone but for me - I do feel a little more positive about carrying on existing each and every day.
Sending big hugs & strength x
