I have made it all the way to August, having been in dark mental places.  After my wife died 13th February, all joy in life disappeared in an instant, replaced with deep despair and indescribable sadness.   Nothing and no one could help me, every day was a struggle, even now I’m just about okay and back to work.   After many months of bereavement counselling and high dose age anti depressants, I’m still feeling lost.  

  • I think we progress at our own pace and if you charted your progress you would see it is upwards! However I would suggest that the progress is never linear and sometimes seemingly non existent.

    But I feel that all here grow some quickly some slowly..

  • Hello Jebel, I am still counting in weeks. My partner dies 19th feb - 24 weeks ago. And the ups and downs and low downs all feel difficult at times. Hope today is ok enough.
