I lost my husband in October this year, after a 6month battle with cancer. How do people deal with weekday evenings? I put our 7yr old to bed, then it’s just me. 

  • I’m so sorry for your loss. Must be so hard with a small child. 
    I’m on my own, apart from my faithful dog, and I find the evenings are made easier by lighting the fire, some candles, cooking myself something nice to eat, watching box sets on iplayer or Netflix. Sometimes a glass or two of wine. Also looking at this forum, phoning my mum, emailing and texting and Facebook activity. I’m conscious that all this activity is me trying to keep the overwhelming feelings of grief at bay but I’m not sure how else to cope. It’s seven weeks today since my husband of  34 years died. 
    Hope you will find some ways to look after yourself x

    It’s the hardest thing. I watch tv but I’m not really taking it in. We’ve/I’ve got a dog and the fireworks have been sending him into a panic. 
    life just changes and adapting is so so hard
