What a dreadful thing Grandmama It must have been a terrible shock for you.

My husband died four years ago Skeeter My son moved in with me but if he is out at work there are still times when I feel desperate for the sound of a human voice. It seems silly because i'm busy most days but you still miss having that other person around.

Love and every blessing to you Skeeter flowers My husband died in June in hospital following a fall downstairs when he was sleepwalking. I miss him terribly but he remains very close to me but in a different way, sort of with me all the time now never apart as we were sometimes in life.

There's usually a few night-owls around in the small hours if you need to chat.

I join the others in offering condolences for your so recent sad loss.

So sorry for your loss. I Hope you find some friendship here on GN. As others have said, the daily Good Morning thread is a great place to start.

Sincere condolences Skeeter. My husband died 10 months ago. Sending love to you.

Just joining all the others sending warmest sympathy. I know what it's like. In one month it will be the first anniversary of my beloved DH's death. Lean on friends and family, accept any help offered. And tell us about it if you want to.

Skeeter so sorry for you. It's important you look after yourself you won't want to eat but you must and drink and make sure you take any medication you are on. Life doesn't feel real and you can't see a way forward. But you need to keep your body strong. As you are going to have to make a lot of decisions in a short time period. Your grief is overwhelming and the last thing you want to think about paperwork but unfortunately it has to be done. I hope you have family support.

Talk out loud to your husband everyday I promise it helps . Scream ,shout,swear hit a pillow just don't hold your feelings in . I did that and the only person I hurt was me. But I was 45 at the time and thought I had to be brave I was a fool. I am now 65.

Your husband wouldn't want you to be brave and he would want you to look after yourself. Love never dies even when the person you love dies. In fact I love my husband more than ever . And so glad I was loved and loved in return. As your husband loved you and you loved him.๐ŸŒน
