Hi everyone, anyone. Does anyone else hate the nights, the wee small hours when those dreadful thoughts just won't go away and you know there's no chance of sleep. Sitting outside with a cup of tea at 3am just to get some air because I think I'm suffocating from all this  stuff, anything and everything just seems overwhelming and I don't know how to cope.

    Hi both,

    snap, when I get to sleep I sleep. I just stay up too late as I know bed is where I go to cry. Funnily enough I don’t dream of my Bob. Luckily enough I don’t have nightmares about his final suffering or his  death so I’m grateful for that. It’s just this isolating alone, loneliness and not being able to discuss this situation with him or have cuddles from him or my family. Life is pretty shit!

    Hi both,  thank you for replying. I don't dream of Ken, or much else that I can remember it's just when I can't sleep or wake up after a couple of hours I just can't switch off, I worry about anything and everything, from corona iris to the most ridiculous things. Each one leaves me in a state of anxiety. It's worse than before Ken died strangely enough. I get so fed up with myself, I just wish I wasn't me. I just need that hug and the smell of his neck that means home xx
