I have been trying to cope but it seems i am getting weaker and weaker. I no longer want to be alive without him. Yet I am. How do you go on? Just pretend eeverything is okay? Or do you just curl up in your bed and never get up? I have family but they all live so far away. It has been three months and still I cannot eat a thing. But i feed my dog. She is my only comfort.

I’m so very sorry Mackir. It is early days but that’s not much comfort to you in the middle of it. Some really good advice here especially about getting some bereavement counselling. And please come back here as often as you like, others have been in your position and really can help. Sending you a hug and some virtual flowers.

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words, love and flowers.

(Mackir was a typo so now Im Macaydia, confusing I know, but dont ask.)

Since I kept up with meal replacement drinks, I was able to live through the first few months. Now i can eat a small bit each day. Now I can walk with the dog.

I am forever grateful for all the help from GNetters.
