Overwhelming sadness

It’s a month yesterday that I lost my husband. I have just come back from a long walk around the beautiful parks that he loved so much. I thought  the exercise would make me feel better as I’ve just been moping around since his funeral. It hasn’t. I feel 10 times worse. He should have been there with me enjoying listening to the birds singing and feeling the sun on his face. I feel guilty for going there without him as we’d planned to spend lots of time there once winter was over. I can’t believe how sad I feel now .

  • Hi Carpetbagger,

    I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I lost my dad a month ago today.

    I know exactly what you mean about the sadness even though you were trying to do something that you enjoy. I went to a flower festival with my mum at the weekend and felt really sad most of the time as I knew my dad would have loved it.

    I guess we just have to try and take comfort from the fact that my dad and your husband, would so desperately want us to still be able to enjoy things.

    Hopefully things will get easier with time.  

  • Thank you for replying. I’m so sorry for your loss too. Today has been particularly bad. Everything has set the tears off. I didn’t expect a simple walk to a favourite place to affect me so much. Xx
