Please try not to feel alone! There are thousands like us out there. It’s a mater of finding what works for you. Joining a group like this one is a great step to take!
I fortunately live in the country and can enjoy nature. Feeding and watching birds is a bright spot in my day.
Maybe you can try to incorporate what you enjoyed with your husband, if you can’t do it physically, maybe you can find it on the internet or tv. There is so many choices.
There are so many things I do to keep my Rich with me. It helps to have a pix of him where I have morning coffee. It helps writing to him.
I hope you can see the beauty of a sunrise every day.

I love reading comments of how people cope moment by moment, what brings joy to them. This personal connection into others' thoughts is inspiring and I cannot help but incorporate some beautiful ideas into my life. Being open to change and expanding our daily lives brings meaning to shattered lives again. Yes, definitely, my life was shattered when the reality set in that my love and partner had passed.

Thank you for your good thoughts. That, alone, makes me feel better. I do have a wonderful photograph of him on a table in my dining area. Depending on my mood, it either makes me happy or extremely sad. It is interesting that your husband's name is Rich. My husband was also Richard. Unfortunately I am not a joiner. I have always felt awkward in a group and never welcome. This has happened too many times so I no longer try. I am in therapy. Perhaps, in time, I may start to feel like a person.
