How do I cope

OK, my heads full of a million and one things, but I'll try and get my message across best I can. I lost my wife on 12th July at 17.15pm. WOW. this is so hard. 3 months on, and I still can't accept she has gone. I would just like to say to those who have lost a love one, my heart goes out to you all. If you had your partner home for her remaining days, Again my heart goes out to you. for me,. it was a very stressful time .. So much so being diabetic I had a couple of hypo's as the pressures of watching my wife slowly ebbing away. it must of frightened my wife, but my son and daughter helped me through. they were a tower of strength for their mum and me. I'm not going into detail on her final week, other than I was holding her hand telling her how much I loved her, as she gave out her final breath. It was carols Birthday in October, I realised that was her first Birthday without her. then it hit me. It's going to be the first Xmas and new year without her. How do I cope. will I cope

  • Hey there.
    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, my heart goes out to you. I lost my Mum in July and it still hurts now. 
    I expect losing your wife or husband is even more traumatic. I hope you are looking after yourself and your health. You sound like you have good family support in your kids and that will help you I'm sure. I'm sure you will find a way to cope by talking it out with people who care, and by getting support yourself if you need it.

    The first birthday may be tough, but you'll get through it and you're not alone. I'm dreading Christmas for the same reason, although I have other family to lean on and take comfort from, I'll still remember Mum and will do at every other time we would normally have been together.

    Try to stay strong for those kids of yours, I'm sure they are really proud of you.

    Take care
