Is anyone up?

I can’t sleep.

My husband was killed in a car crash today.

We’d just moved house and he was so happy.

Didn't want to read and run. I am so sorry for your loss. I completely understand the not wanting to give into the grief. It's feels like once you start to cry you may never stop. Cry when you're ready. Stay strong but remember it's okay to give way to emotion. Love to you and your children.

The pain is unbearable. I have really scared my children. I broke down in the most awful way in front of them. It was brutal, raw, feral even. I am now on diazepam to help me sleep. It wears off quickly.
Hoping to see the GP today. Hoping my circumstances will warrant an emergency appointment. The world is a very dark place and it is often a struggle to live from one second to the next.
I have discovered that some of my friends are the most wonderful people and I love them dearly.
I am very grateful to the police. Their support is amazing. My liaison officer is a star. He listens to us all, spends as much time with us as we need either in person or over the phone. He doesn’t leave us until we are laughing and smiling again. He is also excellent at reading emotion and will focus his support/attention on which ever of us is in most need at that time.
Thank you all for your support and good wishes. This often batshit, bonkers forum is wonderful.

It’s ok to show your children your emotions. Big big hugs.

mumisnotmyname · 04/12/2017 03:00

As awful as it is for you and your children your pain is real and raw and feral, you know that and so do they. Your kids will not be damaged by your pain, saddened yes but not damaged.

I hope you get your GP appointment.

Thinking of you as I am sure everyone who knows you in real life is.

louella99 · 04/12/2017 03:01

I'm so sorry for your loss. It is OK to show grief in all its rawness. I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight.

Iwant2move · 04/12/2017 03:38

How do I get this moved to the “Bereavement” section?
I wasn’t thinking straight on Thursday night.

I think you just report your op and request the thread be moved in the notes. I’ll report as well for you.

I’m so sorry. Glad your liaison officer is so good.

CiderwithBuda · 04/12/2017 04:19

Sometimes that pain just needs to come out. Your children might have been scared for you but ultimately it is good that that level of pain came out rather than be suppressed. I'm sure you will be able to see your GP if you explain.

I've see the charity Cruse mentioned on here a lot as being great for support for bereavement.

MNHQ will move your thread but probably not till the morning so don't worry if it doesn't move straight away.

Glad you have such good support from friends and the police.

DollyLlama · 04/12/2017 05:25

I’m so so sorry Flowers I can’t imagine what you’re going through but we’re all here for you x

Appraiser · 04/12/2017 06:35

I’ve reported that you want the thread moved ito MNHQ iwant

You are allowed to breakdown in front of the children. Them seeing you like this will actually help them in the long run.

Go easy on yourself. Make sure you get into your GP today 💐
