Hello Andrea - my sympathy to you. As Norma says, it's very early days for you. Everybody has a different experience when they lose half of themself but from conversations I've had with others in the same boat I've realised that we all have the same emotions but at different times. I'm almost 6 months down the line now and only just getting myself together. Give yourself time, be kind to yourself and don't be surprised at the bewildering feelings and emotions you'll go through. When you can, talk to people who truly understand what you're going through. It's painful but I believe it helps.
I'll never get over losing her and I used to think that eventually
I would learn to live with it - that's not happened yet.

Hi, my husband passed away in January after a long illness. I just about keep going by taking each day at a time which is the same as when I knew I was going to lose him last March.  It's the only way you can cope.  I try to keep myself very busy but in the very early days it was almost all I could do to get up and dressed before midday.  Writing this shows me how far I have come emotionally as I am now enjoying sonething every day.  Exactly a month after he died I started a diary as I am determined to make new memories.  This has been good and I also document my feelings, good and bad.

So sorry for your loss, Andrea. Do you want to tell us more about what happened - only if you feel you want to?

It is now just over 4 weeks since I lost my husband. I don't know what each day will bring. Some are harder than others but I just take each one as it comes. I try to do something each day that will give me pleasure, even if only for a few minutes. I cry every day but don't try to hold it in now as I did at the start when I was afraid it would overwhelm me.

Big hugs xxx
