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.

So sorry

Oh op. Flowers

You need to grieve, it's okay to. Let your best friend come and help you out, okay. Can you see a gp tomorrow? They will likely be able to give you something to help you through this, even if you only want it temporarily. It will help with sleep and keep you a bit more relaxed. You've so much to deal with. Get support wherever you can. The last thing you feel like doing is probably eating and drinking but please try op, you need that strength. You're in shock. Drink sugary tea, milk, fruit juice if you can't stomach solids right now.

Everyone is here if you need to talk or just a hand to hold, you're not alone op. Here is my hand Xxx

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, I can't begin to imagine what you're going through.

Is it worth seeing your GP tomorrow to get something to take the edge off how you feel and possibly a few sleeping tablets?

I'll be up as long as you need me. hugs

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 01/12/2017 02:52

So sorry for your loss OP Flowers

I love the sound of the t-shirt.

InLoveWithLizML · 01/12/2017 02:55

I would say if he's a huge metal fan black t-shirts with his favourite bands on would be a fitting tribute.

If possible get DS to get you to the Dr's tomorrow.

Grief is really hard because you feel like you should be sobbing your heart out, but I imagine it's such a shock you feel numb.

You were with your DH a long time so your brain is probably struggling to process it. But when the tears come and the anger or whatever other emotions let it out. Please don't feel guilty. You're not letting anyone down.

OverwhelminglyCrap · 01/12/2017 03:01

The one thing I've learnt is that whatever you want or need to do is the right thing. If you need to breakdown, do it. If you want to put your DH in a heavy metal t shirt, do it.

Whatever gets you through.

Big hugs xxx.
