Loss of my wife

Hello Andrew 

Tricky is the answer. First time I went out was a local music event. On my own but knowing a lot of people there. It wasn't far and I could escape when I wanted to. Plan your exit and make your excuses politely !! If it gets too much. Which it probably will.

I did go home, and in the dark, but had left a light on in the house, but it as strange as Barry wasn't there to welcome me home.

First time but you will get through it. Probably in tears but you can do it I am sure. Good luck.

Tell us how it goes ?

It was difficult  but I got through it ,I think the drink helped but I know that's not the way to go had a bad head this morning and I've had a few drinks tonight at the step sons miss her so much  

Hello 

I am glad you got through it. Not easy was it but you did it ! The drink does help a bit but the next mornings are not so good. I know that one a bit too much ? Breathe and try and take stock .

I have been doing a little mental checklist very day. Maybe you want to try it ?

Am I warm enough ?

Are you hungry, if so what are you going to eat ?

Prepare something for tonight's dinner.

How are you feeling right now ? Sad, tired, angry, fed up ?

Do you want to talk to someone or not ?

Find it quite helpful and forces me to react to the questions and find some answers ! 

Take care. Keep writing to us .

Thanks will try this I'm at my stepson this weekend for my birthday, so I'm spending it with the grandchildren ️
