I checked out a book about what you are going through and I learned a lot from it. Can you join a support group or talk to a counselor? Hugs.

Sorry you are struggling. When my mom died, I had a rough several months before things got easier. Time definitely helps but I agree with morticia that it might really help heal faster getting support and talking with other people?

Your whole world has changed since you lost your love, Jim. I used to work at a church and did funeral arrangements. People with deep losses found a lot of healing in volunteering. Especially feeding those in need and reading to children. Perhaps you might find some comfort in making others day better when you can't make yourself better immediately. Sending love Mel ❤️

Hello Merry Mel! I’m sorry to hear of your loss 😔 Time is the biggest healer… just remember to be patient with yourself and try to spend time with people who uplift you ✨ Sometimes though, spending time in our own company is helpful so we can process our thoughts and emotions! The other thing that came to mind quite quickly was whether you had a pet? I know a lot of people benefit from having a dog around the house? 🥰 Maybe something to consider! Sending my love and hoping you feel more at peace tomorrow x

Though today it’s difficult to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. It will be hard now. But it does get better. Trust me, it does. It just takes time.

Hi All, lovely people, your all so lovely, I am not sleeping at night now, frightened I won't wake up!!!. Don't our minds work in mysterious ways. Mine us so messy at the moment. I wrote a poem. Here goes.
My Jim was and still is!!!
My Jim was the soul of my life. He still is the love of my heart, and mind and soul. Jim will and always will be the light of my life, my world and my everything. I can not see him, but I can in my mind. I cannot touch him, but I can in my soul.

Poem continues
But i xan in my soul. I cannot talk to him but I can in my thoughts especially at night when all is quiet and we are alone together in my imagination. So you see Jim is not invisible he's always by my side.
Hope you like it I do. Love you all Merry Mel 🤩

Such a beautiful poem, Mel! I hope you can find a way to sleep at night. Maybe a cup of herbal tea, like chamomile might help. Sending you a big hug! 🤗❤️

Mel, there are groups for grief support and they’re generally free. Don’t ever apologize for posting here. I used to cry every night for months, eventually it was less. I’m not going to say I don’t cry at all, but you can find the light again.

Never worry about sharing here. We have all experienced it at some point in our lives.
Perhaps you're onto something with writing . . . journaling can be powerful. Find some blank paper and a pen and let it out! Sad, funny, old, new, just let it come from your heart. That, along with all of the other great suggestions here, will be a start.
Sending big 《HUGS 》💗
