Self help thread. I am a widow coping getting on with it

Hi I'm feeling a bit low at the moment, my brother has died and it that time of year that my hubby became suddenly ill. I feel very tearful and devastated all over again.
I hope everyone is well and coping ok x

wort- sorry to hear your news. I unexpectedly lost a sibling three weeks ago, it is a very sad time, I wrote but could not deliver the Eulogy, but we tried to celebrate the life, we focused on the happy times and are trying to keep busy!

Thank you for your kind words. Crv 1963 - my condolences, I hope you are managing ok xx

Sadly my lovely Husband Mick passed away 3/7 after an eleven and a half month battle with MND. I came home and he had fallen upstairs. I never came to terms with this cruel diagnosis, but hoped that we had much longer together. I am finding it very difficult, I feel lost, but in the same way happy that he didnt get to the final awful stages if that makes sense

So sorry to hear your sad news sheilavw.

My condolences Sheilavw, I'm sure we all agree, sometimes the pain of death for a loved one is better than a prolonged illness. But it's always harder for the one left behind.
Crv, is correct memories of good times are so important to keep a positive frame of mind, much as I feel cheated by the sudden death of my hubby, I'm glad we got to share 30 wonderful years.
Look after yourself xx
