Lost

I'm so sorry you are hurting. My husband died last year after an 8 week battle. I still miss him every day. The world is moving on without him, no matter how much I try to stop it. All I can do is survive each day as it comes. I know Den would be so mad at me for crying but I miss him and I don't want people forget him.

After 14 months, the grief is less, but it still hurts. Just be gentle with yourself. You're on a journey that is tougher than anything you've ever known, but it is survivable with baby steps. Ask for help, say her name, let her still be part of you. Take each day, each hour, each minute and cope with that. It was too hard for me looking into the future, but it arrived without me realising. Get through today and let tomorrow come when it gets here.

I'm 56. My husband was 57 when I lost him. Much too young

Thank you for your kind words
