Meeting up with people who have lost loved one

I lost my wife to cancer recently and I have never felt so alone. I am experiencing all kinds of extreme emotions from grief to guilt. I really want to connect and talk to others who have been through this terrible period.

  • Hi there,

    Sorry to hear your loss. Loss of our loved one is unbearable, unbelievable. Feels like whole world is upside down, it's extremely painful. There is no answer why? But I keep asking myself why? How??

    Try to contact Cruise Bereavement, GP, or go for walk you might get some comfort though it's hard just a little bit distraction to ease your pain. 
    Look after yourself

  • Hi Ash, yes I walk sometimes and speak with some friends.

    My parents are staying with me now so my mind keeps distracted. 

    It is difficult to see a way forward and I keep blaming myself for many things. 

    But yes I try to keep my mind distracted as much as I can.

    I am sorry for your loss Ash x

  • Hi there,

    I'm  glad you have some friends to help you at this difficult time and your parents are there for you which is definitely a help to ease your pain. 
    There  is no right or wrong. We all try our best to help and save  our loved ones. Do not feel guilty, think of good times you had together, you will cherish those memories. Though it's too raw for you to think anything else at the moment. One step at a time.

    It's four months two weeks since my precious son passed away so sudden, so quick, life is cruel. Will be starting my work soon, as I worked for a month as a Phased Return. I have understanding manager and colleagues, works helps me to distract my mind, even though I cry everyday despite my families and friends support, I feel so empty, sad.

    Take care, look  after yourself

    big hug
