My husband sadly passed away this week after fighting hard against metastatic melanoma for 4 years.

I’m alone locked down at home with family far away. Friends have been fantastic , but , still feel so isolated,  & everything that has to be done is so very hard in the current situation.

I just want to send love & support to everyone struggling with caring or the loss of a loved one at this time.

  • Hello I'm so sorry for your loss. Have you looked at the recent posts in bereaved family and friends? I have just been reading similar posts to yours there. I lost my Mum in 2018 & it still feels like it was yesterday. Hugs

  • Oh no!! how awful for you!  I'm scared my hubby will 'go' during this dreadful virustime we're all going through. He's had loads of transfusions lately, they seem to be all that's keeping him with us. 

    sending you virtual hugs ((((0)))

  • So sorry for your loss. My lovely husband died in January. There were many things to sort out as he led a very busy life and was working from home right up to 6 weeks before he died. I found the bereavement helplines  of organisations very helpful and most can still be accessed by telephone. The 'tell us once ' service for instance is easily accessed online and is very efficient. I started  a file in a large A4 ringbinder using extra large resealable freezer bags to hold all envelopes and relevant documents in separate  see through sections . In addition l used an A4 lined notebook to record every phone call noting reference numbers. It occupied my day like a full time job.  I did it for him . I took breaks at lunchtimes and although it was sometimes frustrating as errors were made it was a reason to get up every day and meant l was tired at night.l still haven't moved any of his things and l am functioning in denial phase as though he is still in hospital. We all cope in different ways  Bless you, l am with you in spirit. We will each find our own way.

    Hello, I'm so sorry for your loss. It must be so terrible being on your own. Can you not skype, whattsapp video call (which are free). At least if you can't see them physically, you will be able to see their faces and speak to them,  Sending lots of love and hugs. Take care and keep yourself safe. xxx
