Hello I have been reading your messages and words of support and feel that this may be the only place where people understand how I feel. I lost my husband four weeks ago to a brain haemorrhage - four days from it striking to his death. It was sudden, devastating and unexpected. He was 67 and fit and strong. Ours was a long and loving marriage (32 years) and we cherished every day together. Our life was full with family and friends and each other and although they everyone has wonderful to me, now none of my former life has any meaning. I thought I was strong and independent (he made me that way) but he wouldn't believe how I am feeling now. I can't think straight and returning to work is out of the question - yet people keep telling me it would be a good thing. and not really 'coping'. I can't see my way through this. I go out when asked because I want to try and come to terms with this huge loss but I wonder if I'll ever feel good again.
