Thinking of you all day today, OP. Look after yourself and don't worry about anyone else except your DC if you have them. Flowers

Thinking of you. When my Dad died (he lived in France) everyone wished my Mum "Bon courage" - have courage. I felt that was a lovely thing to say Xxx

You will just get through it. I don't know how but it's just one step in front of another. I had my young son and my family and loads of friends there, it passed in a bit of a blur, people came back to my house for the wake which was actually nice to have everyone there and we drank and chatted. Then when everyone had gone I had a nice calming tablet off the doc and was in bed for 7
This is gonna be a long road now but you will get there.
There's charity's that are helpful to keep you going and you get to talk to similar people (WAY- widowed and young- if under 50)
Just keep swimming 💐🌺🌼
Sending strength your way

Was thinking of you Flowers
I went through the same last year - horrendous but no choice I suppose.

Be kind to yourself afterwards though - I found that the time between DH dying and his funeral - I was swept along on adrenaline and in shock and then it all got more difficult: the fact that for many the funeral was 'the end' but for me it was the start iyswim

Hope it all went okay today.

Yes, and me. After the funeral, day by day, is the hardest thing.

Losing a partner brings a pain like no other🙁

Its a case of getting through the day, to get through the night.

Its awful.🙁

Thinking of you. I know you will have got through the day in your own way. Flowers

Was thinking of you @ShortHairedGeneral today. I went through this 2 1/2 months ago and you do survive even though it feels impossible to do so at the time. My DP was lovely and kind and just so good a person that I feel that I'll never have that again in my life. Just keep putting one foot in front of another until you can keep going. Sending lots of hugs.
