My husband died three months ago, and every day feels so endless that it feels as if he has been gone for so long. I am managing to do some work and have four big writing deadlines to catch up with but my energy crashes even if I only do a bit and then I feel so overwhelmed and lost. The worst is that I feel that I don’t belong here/in my life anymore and that I have to start over but don’t have the energy and no interesr in anyrhing apart from our two teenage kids. Anyone else experienced the same? Would love to hear how you get/got through without despairing.
