Where to start?? My partner was diagnosed with lung cancer end of October, was due to start chemo December , so we went away for a few days break before this started, he  got pneumonia and passed away why we was away, 

Over Christmas I’ve had all my family and friends round me, my daughters been home with me too, but now everyone’s going back to their own life ( which I know has to happen) I don’t know what I’m going to do, I’ve been of work myself and need to get back. 

im constantly feel like in holding everything in and people are telling me how strong I am, but they don’t see me at night , which shortly I’ll be alone at home, and starting to worry about that, the walking in to a empty house, to not have no one to just talk about the day. 

  •   I don't know how you feel but can you try and go step by step. If work helps do it? If not, rest. It sounds really bad what you have been through but you reached out on here. That is a big step in itself. So very sorry.

  • Thank you scarlet, I’ve come on here because really struggling talking to family and friends as there’s struggling to I don’t want to make them worry about me more, plus I struggle talking, I’m trying one step at a time but feel like I have a good day then go backwards, 

  • it's a good idea but also true friemds will be there
