Grief

We were together for 48 years and now I am alone after Len died of oesophageal cancer.  He died in March this year.  Although my family are supportive I feel so alone.  My doctor has prescribed medication, don't know if it is working or not as a lot of the time I don't want to get out of bed.  I don't know how to deal with life without him but I know I have to.

  • Hi there ... it's so sad when someone we love are taken from us ... I went through a time about 15 years ago when all I saw was a big black hole and sometimes just wanted to jump in ... I can't remember what made me start to come back but I'm so glad I did (I think we're stronger then we think) but I know I thought just maybe there were others that may need help too ...

    So I found some volunter groups and asked if I could help, there are so many needing volunteers, and you can empathise how others are feeling ... sometimes helping others actually help us feel needed too ....

    Now years down the line I look at my grandaughter whos 5 and lights up my life every day and if I hadn't reached out, I would not have been here now

    I so hope you find something to help you ... let us know how you go and remember there's always here to chat and someone will always try to help xx
