My husband died on 20th August. We had been together for 36 years. Now that the funeral is over and everyone is getting on with their own life, as they should, I am trying to be positive and one of the things that i am doing is making sure that I go for at least one walk a day. Not difficult as I have two dogs. When out I try to notice what has changed since I last took notice. For example the trees are just tinting now as autumn starts to take hold. It seems to help.

Having dogs helps so much. :hearts: I think Autumn helps too, so much change happening around in nature giving us things to notice and watch

I think pets always help Jan. I find looking at the natural world around me does too. I walk in the park and find it calming, even though it is now almost two years on from my most recent loss. Nature is a calming influence and a comforting one. You are doing well. I think you just have to take each day as it comes.
Thinking of you. :hearts:

I agree i think the combination of dogs and walking and nature are great healers.

Thank you all for your replies. I am trying really hard and hope time will make things easier.

:hug: it is a roller coaster of a journey -but in the end time will help and the accute pain will ease - we learn to live with grief and pick up life again in the end. meanwhile keep looking at nature on those walks because i found even in the middle of a black winter those images helped me get through.

Thank you I will certainly try.
