It has been almost 3 years now since I lost my husband. I am trying to move forward but it seems as though I am stuck in the same place. I went to my daughters for Easter and felt relaxed and enjoyed watching the grandkids find eggs. When I got home the anxiety hit and I feel like I have no ambition to get anything done. I want to just sit and listen to the tv as it is noise and be on my tablet. I have things to do that I enjoy but don't want to get up to do them. I am stuck and feel awful. Need to shake this feeling but HOW?

I am feeling the same way :( I have to make myself get up and get out of the house. My husband died 10 weeks ago. Forward is a scary place it just means more change... I know there is no time limit on grief but, have you talked to a Doctor lately? Take take care of yourself.

Yes I see my dr on a regular basis as I have high blood pressure

I hope that the being stuck does not last long for you. ((Hug))

It's simplier than most are able to comprehend.
Compartmentalize.
Lost in one room...Family and grand kids in another.Yourself in another and so forth.
One day at a time.
Your young and healthy..Decide what you would like and begin to pursue that idea.
You have no control over the past dear.very little over the present day and a great deal over the future....
