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

  • Hello

    I have just read your post and wanted to send you my very best wishes.  I was very moved by the love you have for your wife and as other posts have said this is not something you can get over in a defined period of time.  

    I am sure you cherrish the memories of the wonderful loving life you shared with her and hopefully the trauma of those final weeks you spent together will give way to happier memories.

    I think it is good to share your thoughts on this forum because there are so many of us out here struggling through difficult times and we have a lot of empathy.  

    Dont keep your feelings bottled up  - we are here for you.

  • I would like to say a big thank you to one and all for the kind words. and I hope anyone going through tough times finds it in there hearts to talk. Although it is tough and upsetting to think and talk about loved ones. it restors faith that people we don't even know have kind words. thank you all.
