Loss of Husband

I loss my husband to cancer of the esophagus at the beginning of April.My world is empty now because he was my best friend and we did so much together.Im trying to be strong but it's so hard when every time you go out you return to an empty house.I seem to spend so much time crying when I'm alone here. I'm just hoping the pain within will subside as time goes on.

    Hi Caldbeck,

    I am so sorry to hear that you lost your husband in April – my sincere condolences. It is early days for you yet. People grieve in different ways and for different lengths of time. It is not at all unusual to cry a lot – this is a good safety valve, so let them flow. It is not so easy going home to an empty house, but is especially difficult at times like this. Do you have any family or friends to support you?

    The pain will subside with time, but it is impossible to predict how long. Do you work? Try your best to keep as busy as you can. Would you consider taking up a night course on something that interests you? It could also be helpful to see a grief counsellor who can give you advice on coping strategies.

    I am thinking of you and praying that you get some peace of mind.

    Kind regards,
