Hi,.
Yes, unfortunately, I have recently lost my spouse. March 23, 2016. His name is/was James. He was only 41. Sharing my story is very difficult right now. It's like reliving the nightmare all over again. I watched the whole thing while trusting his care givers were doing their job. It's a very very deep opened wound still. I don't have the strength right now. And I'm still very confused by it all. Everytime I do, my anxiety, stress, and blood pressure suffer greatly.
God lead me here, because I don't have the support needed to go through this. I'm lost emotionally. I'm turmoiled., exhausted mentally and physically, leaving me to feel broken and vulnerable. I struggle with depression already, but this is the worst thing I've had to go through in my life.. It is in addition to other issues, not directly related to his death, that is making it even more difficult.
I'm a mess. At times I sleep for days, others I'm up all day and night, or (like today) I sleep for a couple hours at a time then wake up for a short time just to sleep again for a short time.
I have no idea what the next day has in store and I have a difficult time wanting to handle any task at all. I'm all ALONE, even in a room full of people.
I live in California and I just want to run away, but I know running from my problems won't change anything. Because I have no clue what to do, it's making me feel I'm making every decision wrong.
The county is absolutely NO help here. I don't trust them part for this reason as I feel they're abandoning me when I'm needing help the most.
We hadn't found a Church since our Pastor's retirement, and our Pastor's from out of town, although very supportive, are too far away.
So, I'm here in hopes of some sort of peace. Some sort of understanding so I can cope with the reality as it still seems so surreal.
