Im writing in this group for the first, I'd always hoped I wouldn't ever have to, my husband passed away very early hours of 16th December 2020, we had only 10 months from his diagnosis back in March, its seems to have gone so quickly, I thought or hoped we would have had longer, I feel so numb ,like I don't feel anything, or perhaps I don't know how I should feel, I miss him terribly, he hated Christmas and now so do I, I've not really slept since Wednesday only cat napped, suppose that doesn't help.
This all feels like a bad dream, that I'm going to wake up any minute, but I don't wake up, I have super supportive family and friends, but its like no one knows what to say to me.
Day by day I suppose is the only way to cope with this, but it all seems to much and to hard.

Hi Sal, you’ve probably seen responses from me before but just to say so so sorry. Please come over to the ‘bereaved spouses’ too, they are a supportive bunch and will be there for you. They understand exactly how it feels to lose the love of your life.
I lost my husband 11 days ago and have been posting every day since. It is a huge comfort to me.
Take care x

sorry for your loss, I understand totally how your feeling we lost our daughter in July. She was 37 had fought hodgkins for four years. COVID has not helped with the loneliness . All I can say is take one day at a time . I try to focus on the good memory’s . This is a great place to get support and vent off
