Dear all,
What I've at last eventually discovered since losing my soul mate Anne 8 months ago is this. I'm happy when I'm asleep.Fortunately I sleep well from mental exhaustion as a result of every day life.Sometimes 10hrs plus as I'm retired. It's a pleasant escape from this world. And I'm contented when I've drunk enough beer. It's an escape from my normal mind set. Both these coping techniques make those periods in between tolerable despite the odd socialising. The constant lonelyness. The emptyness and the grief attacks. They are my life line. The main way I survive from day to day whilst looking forward to passing over myself.
Love and Light
Geoff
Wow Sheila
youve had done loads today and all good.
yeah I agree no 2 hours are the same, when I’m having a moment I will remember that and know I will feel better in 2 hours time. ️
there is always this site to vent and share to
much love
Hi Alison, Sheila & all
Thankyou for your wise words, I know I have to recover but when you aren’t well you feel extra vulnerable. It’s exhausting trying to reassure the children I’m ok when I just don’t feel well.
I am amazed at the fighting spirit of you all on this thread. Despite everything you still continue to get up every day & try & make it the best day possible, not easy in this current climate.
Love to all
Sarah xx
