Does this feeling ever go away

My husband passed June fourth. And I have been trying to cope. Ive been trying to keep busy, but at every turn come these feelings  of guilt, loss, yearning ,and this hollow feeling in my stomach doesnt go away.  I know its only been to weeks.

  • hi you must be devastated two of my friends have lost there husbands and i no they are in pain but they are back at work and hiding the grief  one of them looks ill i can see in her eyes the torment but it is a very private thing to some people. i work in a place where i look after dying people but it is so different when it is your own... i recentley lost my mum and just cannot belive it   my heart hurts so much my dad is still here and they were inseperable  he is really struggling i am drinking more and more to cope just want her back.

  • Hi Jules

    Iam sorry to hear that you are also hurting so. My daughter just gave me a book "The Courage to Grieve" by Judy Tatelbaum. I am going to read it hopefully it will help.

    I hope you and your dad find peace

  • Hi Angela,
    Things do get better, one day at a time.  They say time is a great healer.... I don't know but every day I get stronger.  If someone had told me 7.5 months ago how much better I am at handling things now I would have said they were bonkers.  But it is true....
    I think there are a lot of stages I know I have gone through but am now in a "good" place.
    Take care
