My name is Lesley and I lost my husband of 30 years on the 28th January- I must admit I am struggling, especially with the silence after I go upstairs to my room- my son, his wife and baby daughter live with me (thank goodness) but after 7 I am on my own and I am not coping. How do I get used to this new normal? Thanks
