feeling so sad,

2 minute read time.

well ive had an awful weekend , i had my first *good day * on friday ,i went out with friends for the day and had a really nice time , one even commented on how nice it was to see me smiling, but ever since ive been feeling so low and the tears .well its never ending ,i feel like i did the first day ju died , so lost and lonely ,i keep remembering those last two days again, i just want to curl up in a ball and cry which isnt like me , i thought time was meant to help but i feel worse ,friends and family expect me to be ok now, but im not, i miss ju so much ,even my bfriend upset me yesterday as was moaning about her hubby and i just had no patience with her, ive been invited out to a football dinner and said no but friends couldnt understand why i wouldnt want to go without ju ,so i felt id offended them but i dont want to go ,so they wont invite me to anything again,

i went to dr this morning and found myself telling him im *ok* , but up and down , he offered me sleeping tabs again but i said no, and no i dont need antidepressants either ,not that he offered he knows ill ask if i want them, then had to go to solicitor to sign my will , i need to know our kids will be looked after, but its all so hard, and no im still not ready to go back to work, i work on a very busy dementia unit and need to concentrate or all hell can break loose , im am looking for another job, but for now dont feel ready, im still so tired, but i am getting on with the garden slowly ,with lots of help ,and im so pleased as planted some lovely sweet peas, for ju, who i called sweet pea and he swore he didnt like it but he really did towards the end , im sorry to sound so low ,its not like me and i am trying to take advice and not be so hard on myself , but thats just me im afraid . i just keep thinking of what ju said just before he died , he said one day i will be happy again, well sadly i think thats a long way off yet , but i am trying sweet pea xxx

    Oh Jenni, what a sad blog. But it's still very early days you know. I'm still feeling dreadful some days, but I lost my step-dad and not my soul-mate like you did. You take it gently, if you have a good day then that's great, but don't be too hard on yourself if you have a bad day. I think you're amazing.

    Sending you hugs, Val X

    PS I love sweet peas, so post a picture when they flower.

    if you dont feel ready to go back to work you should take more time off....my friend mary worked looking after senile dementia people for 30 years and its a really hard job for sure...

    dont be sorry for feeling low...its just normal i think...

    and i dont blame you for not wanting sleeping pills and anti depressants i refused them myself  at one time...

    i cant make things better...but you look after yourself you have lots of good friends on here..

    hugs..

    Sending lots of comforting hugs your way jenni.

    You are bound to have ups and downs after losing someone you cared for so much and things people say are bound to upset you at times.  

    Take it easy - one day at a time - and you can always tell us how you are feeling on here.

    You are such a sweet and caring person and you're doing marvellously.

    Take care sweetheart.

    Oh Jenni. I now know just how you feel. So may friends coming around - but I feel so alone and it is a physical pain in your heart I know.

    I can't say much to cheer you up i'm afraid, but sending you lots of love and understanding. And i know what you mean about friends saying the wrong things, a friend said joking that she was looking to 'trade her hubby in'!! I could have cried. I would never have traded my John in. I so miss him.

    Speak soon

    Jenni-I feel just the same as you. Its 19 weeks since I lost my beautiful Hubby. I said to someone the other day that its been 133 days since I lost him and Im tired of doing this on my own. She was shocked that I was counting the days but I am. The physical pain I feel now is much worse than at the beginning as was shock and adreniline I think that carries us through initially. Im sorry I cant help you Jenni. Just to know you are not alone in your feelings. It is so desperate a pain. x
