My husband passed away from kidney cancer , a year and a half ago I feel worse now than when he passed , I have children but I miss him so much and can’t see a future without him , but feel so selfish when I have children .
Hello
I am so sorry, you are suffering like this, it’s so unfair. I am 9 months along and feel exactly the same as you. I also have children, but they have their own lives and I guess I am a low priority for them. I don’t have any friends, just my family, we must be grateful, but for me it doesn’t help my grief. I haven’t tried counselling yet, just don’t feel strong enough to face that, am on Sertraline 150mg, but doesn’t seem to be helping much, feel tearful virtually all day every day, being retired and on my own doesn’t help.
thinking of you, and sending you strength
Linda You are my best memory, You are all of my best memories
