Hello! I came across this website a short while ago when searching on google.
I have read a couple of threads but thought that i should introduce myself before looking further.
My husband Paul died 14 months ago and I am afraid that I am still desperately struggling with my "new normality". I am still on strong anti depression - anxiety medication as well as sleeping tablets and I am due to start bereavement counselling on Tuesday.
Paul and I were together for 30 years and his death was not expected, in fact he had surgery for a benign cyst in the third ventricle of his brain and was expected to get well after the operation. Unfortunately the surgery went wrong and his organs started to shut down and the support machines were turned off after 3 days, so it was considered a sudden death that required an inquest.
I still struggle to cope and am constantly making poor descisions and my life has changed completely, I am so lonely without him.
Hopefully I will find more positive things to write at a later time.
Best wishes to you all, Yvonne
