I am having real problems sleeping. I can’t imagine how much harder it will make things when I have to go back to work in a couple of weeks, but it makes me anxious.

It’s getting to sleep that’s the problem - once I do, then I mostly stay asleep until I reach for my husband in the morning and remember all over again. Anyone have any recommendations for anything I can ask my GP for?

Also, I seem to be getting worse rather than better. It’s really early days - my husband died 10 days ago - but I get more upset and more frequently. Anyone else?

  • Yes, I have a blanket Paul used to use in hospital, at home towards the end of his life and at the hospice when he died. I’m not sure it gives me a lot of comfort, but it is at least something. 

    I too think things are getting harder - two weeks since he died and the funeral is next week. I’m still in a state of disbelief that this is my reality.
