It's been a quite week on here, so I thought I would ask how are you all doing ?
I am week 10 so early to some of you. Another hard week for me. I did manage to go round Alnwick Gardens where we used to go about once a month to see the changes. I cried all the way around pretty heavy at one stage. I sat near where I have a lovely picture of her with the cherry blossom out. Put on my i-pod and played her final song. I have actually had two ready meals this week and I got a sausage sandwich after the walk around. I ate it but did not taste it.
Take care and one step
Hi first post for me. Well it’s week six for me and it feels worse each week I have our cat to look after which gives me some purpose but feeling very confused and lonely I know I’ll need to try and get a routine going but it’s so hard without my darling wife best 30 years I’ll ever had can’t face doing anything really my tears flow every day
Hi, sorry for your loss. I am sorry to say we all know what you are going through. 33 years of marriage, which I would not swap anything for. It is very hard and at the moment I can't honestly say it get any easier. I am currently in counselling which helps for me. A safe space where I talk about Sue and feelings of guilt and just been able to talk about everything helps. I even smile when a good memory pops up. All being well I am going to try a bereavement coffee morning. I don't know if I am ready for that yet ,but I am going to try. I wish I could say the right thing to you. Just try and look after yourself.
