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.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I do try to keep busy. I moved from our home to a beautiful guest house my daughters property with her husband and my grandchildren. I do have a little dog but what I’m finding now is loneliness. Even though I see my family every day I come back here and I’m alone. Losing my husband has devastated me and put me in this anxiety and depression I am trying to work through. We are also exchanging comments on the Anxiety Depression page. Thank you again for your kind words and I did reply to you on the other Forum as well.
