In the beginning of loss you would want to grieve the loss of your love and your plans. Work through the emotions of eating alone, coming home to an empty house and discovering who you are and in time what you want for the rest of your life. This is a full time job and not always easy, in fact often hard. One of the things that helped me was writing down my feelings and fears. Often I wrote possible solutions. It helped me sort out my feelings. I also joined the group here, went to a widow's group, and saw my doctor often as he was keeping me healthy. Hugs to you. Sharon

Allowing yourself to grieve is so important. Breathing deep,walking and exercise and is you have family and friends allow them to love you ..(Hugs)

My sweet husband passed away unexpectedly a month ago yesterday. Im trying so hard to keep it together, but I feel like a scribbled mess of loose ends. Before he passed, I had been applying for SSDI and I finally got approved but now there are more loose ends. The Coroner is still waiting on a sample of lung tissue before she can declare a cause of death and release the official death certificate. Like you said, I feel like Im splitting in two. My life has lost so much meaning, but I cant live that way and still function. I know I will never remarry, it took me 40 years to find him. Life without him feels really empty and scary. I am so sorry for your losses, all of you. Hugs.

We all are bonded with a life altering loss. Give yourself time to cope, we each have our own timeline.
Little steps...
Some days are up, some days not so much but it does level out after awhile.
Do what you can, it can become overwhelming but tomorrow holds its own possibilities.
Give yourself credit for your accomplishments, try to think positively.
Blessings

If possible think about seeing a therapist. A sudden unexpected death is traumatic, especially if you tried to save him. Remember there are medications available too if you need them. I have them but do not take them on a regular basis. I meditate, journal and just started yoga again. Its a roller coaster of emotions up and down and I try to remember how blessed I was to have that love for all the years that I did. Please also try to take care of yourself by eating healthy, drinking water and getting some type of exercise. I'm just starting to do this after almost 4 months and I suffered the effects...weight loss, UTI, thyroid issues etc. etc. Peace and hugs to you.

Give yourself credit for small things .Forgive yourself. Breathe and Breathe deeply and try to stay focused on anything..Many Hugs to you
