Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
I left work for nine months to look after her at home and returned to my full-time job four weeks after she died. This may seem very soon, but I needed to provide for my girls and myself and I have always enjoyed my job, which also gave me something positive to focus on. It is now seven years since her death. I feel tired. I would like to take some time out, but am too anxious about finances and am also scared that if I stop for a minute I'll go under my duvet and not come out.
It's good you realize you are tired. We have to give ourselves the time & space to adjust to our new journey. What is calming for you? Doing something with your girls? Something around the house?
Right now am walking the mall since it's winter.
Keep positive
Friends, family, reading, walking, find what helps you feel empowered
Blessings
