When will the sadness ease?

[BloodyHellKenn]

When will everything feel less raw? Silly things make me upset like today I was shopping in my local supermarket and it was where ex and I used to shop together, buying nice food for the weekend, treats, stuff for the house, relaxing afterwards together with a cup of tea. Now it feels so empty and sad. 😔

When will I feel normal again?

I feel the exact same, songs on the radio, the time of year, plans for the future. Its exhausting and I hope it ends soon. I find keeping busy, and trying to figure out what I need to do next to move forward.

Hopefully other people will be along with better advice!

No advice but hopefully some comfort for you in solidarity here - my OH has left our home and doesn't look like they are coming back, and have cut off all communication with me to boot. The feelings come in waves - swinging between the joy of being able to reconnect with old, neglected friends and having time for oneself, with the all-too-often tears in the eyes at the awfulness of it all and impending birthdays, Xmas etc. Am keeping myself busy but interspersed with moments of panic about loneliness, especially on the weekends. Its pretty brutal.
