Hi,

Does anyone else get such swinging emotions? My husband died at the end of January after 40 years together. Yesterday I was furious with him. Today I am back in love with him, hook line and sinker. Trying to keep busy but I just cannot be occupied 24 hours a day.

  • Hi Tivvy

    Ye been there, it is part of the grieving  process, i was angry, i cursed him, i even hated him for leaving.

    Now i just love him, it has been 18months now, and it is getting slightly easier,

    So you are not atone.

    Tak Care xx

  • Thank you Ellie. That is very encouraging to hear. I am so pleased that you have found just the love now.  I hate the angry feelings and I cannot wait for them to go. It is almost 4 months since my husband died so I am still fairly early in this journey. 

    Today I just feel honoured to have had him in my life, but I know I will circle all round the feelings again, and again.

     It does take time, each day can be so different, you never no what the day might bring.

    I could not listen to the music we both liked, without crying, now i play it and sing at the top of my voice, sound like a cat really.

    I have to say i smile a lot when playing them, as have special memories.

    Take Care Ellie xx

  • Thank you Ellie so much. It is just such a roller coaster. I cannot completely through a day without one or other emotion creeping in at some point.
