Missing my husband

Feels strange that I now have to say my husband died last year, and it's not even been a year since he died, I miss him so much ,didn't celebrate Christmas or new year just tried to keep them as normal days spent alot of it in bed to sleep so I didn't have to keep reminding what day was on, kids felt same gave them money so they could buy what they wanted as they weren't in mood to celebrate, Been also trying to keep busy and my mind focusing on something else even that's getting hard to do.

  • Hello

    im so sorry to hear you have lost your husband. Grief has many layers and we go through a lot of different stages before we learn how to cope with it. Please try to think positively now, for your own sake and your children. The first year is always going to be hard, all those significant dates to get through  you’ve just gone through the first Christmas, that’s a huge milestone accomplished. 

    I lost my husband 4 years ago and went through terrible grief. I had nursed him through his illness for nearly ten years. Now I find that I’m seriously ill and facing a very uncertain future. If I could go back 4 years I would tell that old me to be kinder to myself, less judgemental and willing to take pleasure in what life has to offer. I’m sure your husband would want you to be happy again.  Hard as it is, please try to take pleasure in life again, most importantly be kind to yourself. 

    I wish you well  x
