It's been 9 weeks since I lost my husband and it's been so hard - it only takes a wee thing to set me off crying - today as I shifted bed to vacuum I discovered a tablet that he had dropped, at the time we both laughed but I said I'll get it when I move the bed - well I sobbed and sobbed over a stupid tablet - sometimes I think I'm losing it, will this feeling ever end!
Nine weeks is so early. I’m 15 weeks and still struggling a lot. I am told it will get a bit easier so I have to believe that. Xx
It’s almost 34 weeks for me and I still struggle, some days are less awful but others the pain and sadness is as deep as the early days. Nine weeks is early and so is fifteen weeks. Has it got easier? I think I outwardly function better but when I have my moments, they can be just as heartbreaking. A dear friend who is in the same position as we are today described it as a a feeling of aching emptiness.
Be kind to yourself
