I had a complete meltdown this afternoon and just sobbed and sobbed. My darling Husband has been gone 6 weeks and I miss him everyday and today I missed his physical presence even more, so much it just took my breath away....I just wanted to be with him....thankfully my daughter was at the end of the phone and just listened to me sobbing, but just knowing someone was there, brought me back in the room again, so to speak!
His funeral was 10 days ago and although I've had my moments, the arranging of it all gave me a focus, now I don't have that.
I just wanted to unload how I'm feeling today and that my heart goes out to all of you suffering similar experiences.
