Just can't adjust to life without my wife

Hi, its been 14 months now since the death of my beautiful wife and i feel just as devastated as ever.I still have bad dreams reliving her final moments in hospital and more and more memories seem to be flooding back.I am completely lost without her .Even though i have lots of offers from friends I'm just not interested in socialising without her so i keep declining. I have 2 amazing kids 23 and 21 but feel so lonely and the future looks so bleak.Is anyone else out there experiencing similar?

    I lost my husband just over 2yrs ago this was sudden so quite a shock. I also have two amazing children aged 18 and 20 . I try not to think about the future you have to think about the day and try and love life which is extremely hard but I know that they would want you to live it for them for you and your children.  I do feel that this is my purpose to keep going for the children  .  It does help going out if you get the chance it's a big step but if you have good friends they will look after you. I have got an amazing puppy well she is 2 now she is my security  blanket she helps me so much . 
    your not alone

  • Hi, thankyou so much for your message.You are right about the children, they are the only thing keeping me going at the moment. So glad you have a dog, rhey are fantastic aren't they, we had one for 12yrs but she sadly passed away 2 yrs ago.I would love another one that was one thing my wife told me to do, but work commitments don't suit at present.You are right about getting out but i hadn't realised how couples based society is.I hope you have many fantastic walks with your puppy, all the best and take care.
