My husband died four years ago at 57, he'd been ill but his death wasn't expected. I've done everything you're supposed to do, I've moved house, I volunteer, see friends, have done courses etc but I still have that feeling tha I'm just filling time.
I'm retired myself and have no financial reason to return to work, even if I was able to at 62. I have adult children I'm close to, but they have partners, careers etc. I don't feel depressed at all, just that life is not what it was.
I've fully accepted my husband's death, I did have grief counselling the time.
Has anyone felt similar?
