Hello Filwain100

I'm sorry to hear that you're still struggling with the loss of your husband. Whilst 6 months can feel like an eternity, it is still early days in your journey with grief and it's natural that you're feeling as you've described. 

I'm unsure if you've spoken with anyone, other than friends and family, about how you're feeling but you may want to consider getting in touch with a charity called Cruse. They're able to offer bereavement support and it really can help to have a safe space in which you can talk about things. Do consider getting in touch with them if you've not already had some support. You might also want to think about having a chat with your GP to see if they're able to help. 

Although easier said than done, try not to look too far ahead and take each day as it comes. If a day seems too much then break it down further. 

Keep in touch Filwain100. We're here to support you as much as we can. 

Best wishes,

It’s 8 months since my husband died from lung cancer it’s so hard every day a struggle but you have to be strong big hugs

How does this get easier to live with, I really feel I can't do this without my husband. I'm in the house without him day in day out and it's too hard to deal with. How is everyone is doing this?

I take every day at a time some days harder than others not a good day today  hope tomorrow a better day my granddaughter coming tomorrow she wants to plant a tree for her grandad so you take care of yourself annie x x

Hello I lost my husband 9 months ago and I find there are no words to describe how much it hurts and how much I miss him. We've got two and a half year old grandsons and they are what keep me going. But like you it's when you're in that empty house it's so hard when you're surrounded by all his things and all the bits they did to the place. I feel so robbed of all the retirement years that we were looking forward to together. 
Sorry I'm not helping you with wise words but I find it helps so much to talk to someone who's going through this awful painful time.

Feel free to add me if you'd like to talk about anything you're feeling because I understand completely what you're going through.

Take care

Elaine
