Droopdrawers, depending on your age, you might also like to join the WAY UP on line site for widows.
They have been a great support to me in every way, they also have a facebook page.
I turned to Wayup after my husband died. I found it hugely supportive and still keep in touch with several local members. The people are at various stages after their bereavements and have a wealth of experience and advice, which they are always willing to share. In your quieter moments it can be really calming to be among people who know exactly what you’re going through and you can say what’s on your mind, safe in the knowledge that you won’t be ridiculed or criticised. Please do give it a go.
You have so much on your shoulders at the moment - you’re still very early on in the grieving process and you have to deal with everything else being thrown at you while you’re trying to cope with the huge change in your life. Glad you have reached out for help from your GP - medication takes a while to start working but hang in there because it really helps, as does talking therapy . I had a ten week session after I lost my husband and it helped me sort out and come to terms with quite a few issues. I wish you well and I’m sure everyone here has their fingers crossed that you and your children will come through this difficult time and that that things will get better for you all. ?
