Hi,
My husband passed a few days ago at the age of 28. He had a long tough battle with leukaemia in which I had to become a carer whilst keeping my full time job. This meant I distanced myself from a lot of my friends as I was too busy. Now he’s passed I honestly feel really lonely and lost. Im trying to keep busy but I’m quickly running out of things to keep me occupied. A lot of people my age have still got their grandparents and have never experienced any loss and I struggle to relate to anyone right now as no one has been through anything like this. I could be lonely in a room full of people right now.
Just wondering if anyone here can relate and have any advice for me?
