When you want someone to hold you

When you want that person to hold you and tell you everything is going to be ok .  3 years on since I have lost my husband and feel I'm sinking finding it hard to keep my head above the water .  My youngest has now gone on her travels and the reality has set in that she has now gone  for 3 months and just want someone to hold me and say she will be ok . Really miss my husband by my side on these times of need .

  • I'm so sorry Victoria.

    I know none of us can replace your husband but I hope you can take some strength, and comfort, from knowing that we are here for you and sending all our support your way.

    I'm sure some of our members who have gone through a similar experience will be along soon but in the meantime, if you do feel like you've reached a stage where things are becoming a bit too much, don't hesitate to reach out for further support, be that from your GP or through bereavement counselling and/or support groups.

    We're thinking of you Victoria and wishing you all the best at this very difficult time.

    Kind regards,
