Thank you, the funeral went as well as funerals do I guess.
I managed to stay calm and not tearful which was such an effort, my son stayed to thank everyone and ensure I could leave quickly without that additional ordeal.
I too am from the vale of Glamorgan and with such lovely countryside make sure I get out and walk. Have borrowed my son’s dogs so have no choice whatever the weather!
Now the thing I am most dreading is sorting out my partners clothes for a charity shop. Think that will have me weeping constantly throughout the process.
That will be for a later date though, I cannot face it just yet. Too soon.

Michelle, have you looking into WAY ( Widowed and Young). It was recommended to me but I’m a year to old for it so couldn’t access it. Maybe worth a google if you’ve not done so already. Cx

I am the same I lost my husband, soulmate and best friend 9 weeks ago very suddenly, we were married for 23 years so doing things now are so hard as we did everything together. I’m feeling the same struggling to get by, one minute am fine the next I am crying my eyes out. Don’t feel you alone as you are not. If you just want a chat private message me, take care. I’m from Invergordon in scotland x

Hi, I’m in East London, but where I am has a village feel which is nice. It’s nice to hear where people are from. I’m 18 months into the bereavement journey but still miss Peter terribly, we were married nearly 32 years but it didn’t seem that long. I think this community supports us all, I’m grateful to have found it.
