Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've been on.
It's now been three whole months since I lost my husband. Family and friends have all been a wonderful comfort to me.
I am now hearing from everyone that I have to think of myself and make my new and changed life without him.
Easy to say, but I just don't feel ready or want to have a new and different life. I still miss him so much and have no idea of how to change. I feel as if time is standing still. Maybe one day I will just wake up and be ready to move in, but not yet.
Hi Mya welcome to the forum..I think until people walk in Your shoes they have no idea what it feels like to lose a beloved husband life partner etc. You grieve how you want to for as long as you need to and do it at your pace not as others tell you to do. And what's more that is OK. Much love Gail xxx
