I lost my husband almost 10 months ago, I just feel so empty and numb. I’ve tried to keep busy and putting on the mask to friends and family. The last 2 days I feel as if I’ve hit a brick wall, I’ve done nothing but cry. I miss him so much, he was only 61 years old, we had only been together 5 years and we were soulmates, we felt we’d known each other forever. I am so tired and just feel I’ll never feel happy again.
When other people around have not walked this path there's no way they can really feel our pain. I lost my husband - he was 62, in July. Friends and family care I know but this loss is hell isn't it. I feel a little less alone knowing others here are going through the same thing. You are right. It is so tiring. And that feeling of never feeling you'll be happy again is so awful. All I can do today is understand how you feel and send you love x
