alhart......We just don't realize the silly things we miss until we don't do it anymore...

I know how you feel, I've always been clumsy, matt used to constantly laugh about it but lately I'm even worse. I find its more my memory though, I keep forgetting everything, My mind is like a sieve

I have to watch my step a lot now. I found today, when I went to Lowes to getting more repair stuff for my plumbing. The man asked if he could help me. I said yes, and starting asking what I needed. he walked away and joined 2 other employees who were talking to another costumer....???..so a customer helped me, I thanked him, paid for my stuff and left!! I complained at the check-out.

This after calling plumbers, and they never showing up. Is it just me? what do you do about it?

Mind like sieve is a good description. The other day, after a couple of hours, I noticed that I had put my top inside out. No one said anything, either did not notice or dared to comment ... I leave my glasses all over the place, same with my car keys.

I too watch my step to make sure that I don't fall over. At present, I am trying to retrain my concentration which has gone totally by the window since he died. I am making an effort to focus.

Big hug to you.

Well a few of us belong to the broken bone club. I know at first there are some dumb mistakes, but that's only because your mind is too busy stopping the great flood.
Be careful and keep bandaids and emergency numbers handy. I programmed in my phone things like sis, brother after names, Doctor, preferred hospital...just in case!
Just these little things helped ease the frustration a bit.

Add forgetting to eat to that list! I'm going to assume that this all gets better with time, I hope.

No, this is not just you. Your mind is trying so hard to adjust to this loss that everything just sort of goes wrong for a bit. I heard this is called "Widow's Brain". Please be patient with yourself. This is all part of the grief journey. In time these things will ease off.

When Nick first died I thought I was going crazy. I couldn't remember anything. I dropped things, bumped in to everything and was generally just one huge mixed up mess. Once I found out this was a normal part of healing I eased up on myself. I still did some really weird things but at least I knew it would come to an end... and it did.

Just hang in there. Love yourself. Think good thoughts about yourself and give yourself time to heal a bit.

Hugs of encouragement to you.
