Cannot empty the wardrobe

It been a year now since my husband passed away and I still cannot cope with the thought of going in his wardrobe and clearing it I don’t even open it it’s too hart breaking .

  • Hi Victoria,

     

       Quite similar situations for both of us. My husband passed away unexpectedly too. Exactly eight weeks from a visit to the GP with a worsening cough. I have a daughter 18 at the time and a son 16 at the time. I hope you're all managing to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

  • Hi Fogtyne/Victoria,

    I quite agree with both of you. My lovely wife passed in June 2018 but I haven't really touched any of her stuff. I feel it's like i'm imposing on her belongings. I've tidied things up but I certainly wouldn't touch her handbag or personal stuff.

    I even get upset looking at letters that she has written. 

    I suppose all we can do is try and get through each day but it would be nice to have some light at the end of the tunnel, but there isn't at the moment.

    My best wishes to both of you.

    Chris

  • Hello, I lost my husband in June this dreadful year, only allowed to see him twice due to Covid restrictions. It's really difficult, nobody to meet and talk to. Just taking a day at a time, but it's so lonley, miss him so much after being married for 35 years. As for clearing clothes it's never the right time. I feel I have just been forgotten due to Covid. Dreading the winter and dark nights, it's really scars me.
