Loss of husband: I'm only existing, how do I live again?

Another misinterpretation. I was never going to hurt myself. It was a very bad night and I said those words. Why didn't anyone see I also said I gave my solemn promise to my son that I would never harm myself? I am not in a position to volunteer. Shortly after my husband's death I had to have a full hip replacement. I had to go through this alone. I am still taking physical therapy and need a cane to walk. So volunteering, going out for a walk, etc. are not for me. I have a ways to go yet.

Hello again. I did see the post where you mentioned that you were never going to hurt yourself and the promise to your son. I am glad that you reach out to those of us on Connect. Though our situations are not exactly the same, we too have been through the loss of a spouse. Each of us has to find our own way of working through the loss. We can only hope that one of our suggestions will help someone else. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
