I feel your loss, I lost my husband this June, I try and be brave but I am screaming inside. It's so difficult, I miss him so much. I wonder if life is worth carrying on. What with the pandemic, it's really tough. I would love to be able to speak to others who have lost their loved ones. 

I can't begin to imagine how difficult this journey must be for you Carmarthenshire but as you've seen on this discussion, you are not alone and support is available.

As you've said, the pandemic has made things a lot more challenging but if you feel you need to talk to someone you could do what Longcliffe and Stu02 have done and look in to bereavement counselling. Two charities which provide this are Cruse Bereavement Care and Sue Ryder, with the latter offering free online video chat counselling. To find out more just click here.

The long winter nights can be very tough if you're on your own but the Samartians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 116 123 if you find yourself needing to talk when no-one else is around. They are there to listen and will do all they can to support you. 

In the meantime, try to take things a day at a time and be kind to yourself. 

Kind regards,
