Sundays are the worst day for me.
During the week, I seem to be able to fill my time to a degree but I'm finding the weekends, especially Sundays, to be really difficult.
Others are busy with their partners/family as was I until just a few months ago.
I can't stop crying and feeling so sad and alone. I'm frightened of my future and of my life in general without my husband.
Sorry for the downbeat post but I'm really struggling.

That is just so utterly true and beautiful and honest.
Thank you so much for finding it.
I’ve copied it and printed it out with fancy script.
Im going to decorate it with his signature bees and sunflowers and my signature butterfly.
Then Im going to hang it in what was his office which we were in the process of changing into my craft and reading den before my beautiful alien left us.

Thank you so much for posting this poem. It gives me courage to carry on. I do accept the grief, and in a strange way wouldn’t change anything. I had a “Tidal Wave”weekend, but I am hoping for a “Whispering softly” week. I need to draw on my inner strength, to rebalance my thoughts. We are what we think we are. Again, this is beautiful and so kind of you to post. Kate. Xxx
I'm pleased it's helped even if just a little. Those tidal waves are rough.
Wishing you a whispering softly week xx
Can relate so much with all your posts. What I am reading is similar to what is happening to me. There is no Monday Tuesday Wednesday any more just days. Dreams are a thing with me too just now. Sometimes he will come to me in dreams and they can feel so real and then I wake up and realise that is all it was just a dream and it can be quite disappointing at times and so another day begins and you just have to try your best to continue to push forward.
