My wife died two months ago I have so many different feeling.
Hi Martin
I still talk to my hubby and its five months today, so your not alone in doing that.
Every one here knows how you are feeling, we are all going through this at different stages.
You will get a lot of support here, i have gained a lot from the people here.
Its early days for you and hard days, each day can be so different, i just went from one day to another like a zombie at times and now i have some good days compared to what i was having.
The loneliness is hard, when it has always been two of you, over time we have to adjust, our partners would want us to carry on for them and for our selves.

Hi Ellie

Hi Martin I’m 7 weeks into this journey called grief and no other way to describe it as Bloody awe full. Every night I wrap myself in my Bobs unwashed shirt put his picture on his pillow and talk to him and then sob myself to sleep. Like you I am not to bad at work but my concentration span is short and I’m very forgetful but I just miss him so much much and the future that we should have had together that has been taken away from us.
keep talking on this site it makes you feel less alone

Hi Martin
I did read your profile and was surprised how quick it was, my hubby was 10 months from diagnosis till passing, and it never ever dawned on me this would be the outcome or i did not what to except it, i do no know.
Do you have any family or just you and your dogs, must say i am thinking down those lines of getting a dog.
Your emotions are put to the test on this journey, but it is the road we are on and must keep going forward.

"You Never Walk A Lone"
Hi Sheila
I say goodnight and tell Diane I love her every nite and cuddle up with her pillows and talk to her pictures. I have burst into tears in front of one of the places I collect from. Crying is good At weekends it’s worse do the shopping on a Saturday like I always have I’ve tried doing painting I have trouble finishing it are dogs were rehomed by my niece because working I could not look after them

Hi Ellie
it was too quick did not have time to take it in got told on Friday she had two months. Then died a week later
our two dogs were rehomed by my niece because I work. So my life feels like it has stopped and everything has gone My family I have to ring them my mum ring and ask how I am. If you have time for a little dog Ellie get one I use to talk to my dogs when Diane was at work

Hi
Bit lost how to answer that can not imagine the shock, that must have been, and you have a right to fill the way you do.
I had 10 months to adjust sightly and was losing him more and more.
He lost his sight,he lost his voice and the use of his legs, it was awful to watch, but he is at peace now.
I think you will gain a lot from this group, and some one is always here.
My family get on with their lives which is what i want, but pop in often.
Not one person here thought at the beginning of their journey they could do it, but we surprise ourselves at times.
It will never be the same as what we had but we have to go forward.
