  • Hi Victoria..

    I know young families are s9 busy now .. life's a lot more stressful .. and yes things go back to "normal" for most .. its hard but part of lifes circle ... but those who lost their other half .. it really is like like looseing half of you too ..

    YOUR not alone on here .. you could help others in your possisition know they are not alone too .. I have to spend a lot of my time laying on bed .. this chat room has been my life line ... yes we have to change ... accept .. and make the most of every day ... even if it's trying to help others .. you are needed here if you want to reach out ... and in doing that .. you'll find a new little family on here ...

    Sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie xx

  • Hi Victoria I am so very sorry for your loss.  I lost my husband to it will be 3rys in September.  I personally still find it so difficult but it is so early and very raw for you at this time.  As Chriss said you are not alone and people on here will be there for you when you need someone.  I am always here.  I have family and good friends but you have to have experienced such a loss to know how it breaks your heart and leaves you feeling so desperately sad and alone.  I tell myself every day that I was lucky to have been married to my husband for 36 yrs some people never experience such a love.  I carry on living as best I can as I promised my husband I would.  One day at a time is how i deal with it and one day at a time has helped me through I tell myself as its nearly 3 yrs and Im still going.  Look after yourself and keep in touch on here because that way you won't feel or be alone.  Bug hugs take care.
