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.

  • I know what you are going through, I lost my husband back in June, my emotions are all over the place, I hide my emotions, which probably is not the thing to do, but I do put a front on, but inside I am screaming. It's so difficult, becsuse you can not meet people to talk about your emotions and how you really feel. I am so scared since losing my husband, it's horrible being on your own in the house. I do go for walks, but don't like going on my own. I really miss going to my gym, which helped mentally so much, I just feel punished, and there is nothing we can do until this dreadful pandemic goes. They don't know the half how many people are suffering in silence. But I really feel your pain, it's going to take time to ease. It is important to try and get out to clear your head. It's just a horrible time, please look after yourself. 

  • Yes getting out and walking does help and being around friends and family.

    Everytime someone hugs me I just break down in tears - I don't try to hide it anymore. I know I need to let it out whenever it comes.

    I know we are not supposed to do these things in the pandemic but without those hugs I think i would go crazy.
