Can't stop crying

My darling husband left me 4 weeks ago. Three days after his 70th birthday. We were together since the age of 50 and it was the third marriage for both of us. When we met we realised that we had been searching for each other all our lives. We were complete.

Now Steve is gone and I cry nearly all day long. And I hate myself for it. I don't want to be weak. We knew how ill Steve was and we had planned that he would be at home. We went to bed that night after the doctor had given him a morphine injection and I was told that Steve would not make it to morning. So I was prepared. Or so I thought. 

It was only when the undertakers took Steve away that I broke down and I have cried nearly all the time since then. When will I be able to go for a day without crying?

 

  • So sorry to hear about your husband.  Please don't call yourself weak - you are not weak, you are grieving. Nothing prepares us for losing a loved one and it is so lovely to hear how close you were and how much you loved each other; that you found the happiness a lot of people never do.

    I think grief is different for everyone but you will find a new normal in your own time.  We are all here for you whenever you need someone.

  • So sorry for your loss so hard to take . Have you got any good friends or family members that you would like to be with you, they could help you adjust to what's happened. Such a life change that you didn't want to happen it takes time to adjust and manage the way forward 

    take care of yourself
