Hello

[walofb1]

Hello.  I lost my husband on 5 dec.  We'd been together 18 years and it was always just us. I went to bed that night and cuddled up to him to find out he'd passed away.  He was only 58.  I'm really falling apart right now. I have nobody to speak to. Christmas was terrible. I miss him so much and wish I could join him.

Oh my goodness, that is so sad. I think Christmas has been hard for most us in this situation. (Lost my hubby Alan in May this year). It is so new for you, you are bound to feel as if you're falling apart. We are all here for you to help you through this in any way we can, we all just understand every phase.

Christmas is hard and it is so soon after your loss.  Everyone here understands loss, talking with us may help. Take it slowly, little steps through this tough journey xx

Welcome to the forum walofb1. I am so sorry to hear of your recent loss.

Please do not feel you have nobody to talk to. During the early months I felt the same but I started to phone the Samaritans and found they were of great help. There was something comforting in being able to tell someone neutral about how I was feeling and being able to release some of the emotions. I still contact them now occasionally when I have bad days.

It may not seem like it now but it does slowly get easier as we learn to cope.

Wishing you strength
