Numb - been 6 days since my husband passed. Is this normal?

My husband died 6 days ago and today I feel completely numb .  I've only cried once and that was this morning.  I feel nothing yet he had a traumatic death, what is wrong me with today?

  • Hi I'm sorry for you loss 

    my wife Died 22nd of December breast cancer she was 39 she died peacefully in her sleep at a hospice obviously she was taking loads of drugs at the time to keep the pain away but she was at peace when she went it took myself a few days for it to sink in I guess your brain is trying to protect you from the grief but for me I wasn't protected Long The grief is i'm bearable it's horrible! I don't think there's anything wrong with you i'm sure the grief is on its way but even though I don't wish it on anyone i'm here if you want to talk

  • Hi Chris , haven't seen you on the site for a few days , I hope you are coping ok , sorry that's a stupid thing to say of course your not. How could you be , iam 18 months in and still not coping properly. Some days , well most days really I think what is the point in anything anymore. If ever you want to talk just let me know. In the mean time look after yourself. 
    Mike. 

  • Thank you I'd like to talk  x I'm ok
