I can't seem to get out of this state of constant sadness. It's an effort just to breathe. I take a lot of deep breaths because it's just so overwhelming that my dear husband of 24 years is gone! I can't motivate myself to do much, especially cook. I listen to a lot of sad songs that bring back memories and it makes me cry, I just feel lost, and life feels pointless!

I can't really offer any help, because I feel exactly the same way.  But I just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone in feeling as you do -- there are lots of other people on this site, in addition to me, who feel that way too. I hope you are able to find some peace here, or at least know that you aren't alone.

Everything you have said I have felt or said myself. As others have stated, you are not alone. I echo Bluebird and Lizzie in the no mood department. I love video games and my joy for them is not as it once was. I also hate every morning because it's another day to get through without my sister and best friend. Do you have favorite TV shows? Do you like movies and TV? If so, find a show that just you liked, a favorite of yours not your husbands, and try to watch. TV watching is something you can do with no effort and can just zone out, not to mention it's noise and sights and can offer a distraction. It's a sort of baby step direction in getting back to things you like to do. 

But can't lie, it's very hard without your companion there. Distractions can become tedious.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
