I wish I was like my husband was, always positive. Even through his cancer he was always positive. The first year no one even knew he had cancer. I think this all set me up for the anxiety and little depression I am feeling now. Going to a therapist and she helps. Today the brain fog feeling is there and tingling which I know can be a symptom of anxiety as well. Trying real hard to keep moving and trying to stay busy even when I don't feel like it. Try to stay focused on the here and now and the moment. Try not to worry about the future. We all don't know what the future holds for us.

Sounds like your husband was a brave man. A man to look up to. In many ways our partners or spouses who live on are left holding the pieces of a former life that is now fragmented. Coping with loss is a loss in itself. Of ourselves, our well-being. Motivations not there. But change is necessary to overcome this. New interests or morning routine. A pet maybe. A new perspective to refocus your thoughts like reading. My mind is fuzzy too. I tend to read illustrated comical easy to understand stories. Draw or write. We have 4 cats so I always have a companion close by. I have a precancerous illness which only makes my stress level go through the roof. Not knowing but still living with possibility of having cancer is always on my mind.
