Hi Nicole - i also lost my husband so understand that even when there are people around you its not the same - sometimes you can even feel more lonley than when you are home alone. It is still very early days - much longer for me, and the empty house is something that becomes less unbearable over time.
One of the things about this site is that as well as being able to express grief, we have an everyday chat section - so some of the stuff we would have shared with them - your day at work, what you bought on a shopping trip, hobbies, what you had for tea just that normal stuff, we can share he too, we can still get a response and although of course it doesnt make up for them being there, it helps a little, especially for those who perhaps dont have the support network around them.
