Far from home
Hi. I'm new here and just needed to talk to someone - anyone - who would listen.
Firstly, please, I'm not suicidal, just sad - very sad. My dad died almost 8wks ago and my mum died last week. Her funeral is tomorrow.
I left my husband to be with my parents, and although we talk every night, I miss him so much.
I sometimes feel that my grief is overwhelming. I'm experiencing high levels of anxiety and I just want everything to go back to normal.
Coronavirus hasn't helped, what with having to apply for exemptions to return to your own home.
Anyway, I'm just a long way from hone.

Re: Far from home
@Annhart Hey Annhart and welcome to the forums I am sorry it couldnt be under better circumstances for you. Firstly let me say my condolences for your losses. You have certainly had a tough time and life can be cruel like that. I am heading out the door but will be on later this morning and will endeavour to catch up with you then if you are around. You can talk to forum users by putting a @infront of their name like I did for you and then they will receive a notification of your post. Stay safe and strong. Love to you. greenpeax

Re: Far from home
@Annhart Welcome. This really is a very very tough time for you. I am sorry for your loss. Both parents in such a short time. Very very sorry.
Being away from your husband and home at this time is also extremely difficult.
Please feel you can talk more here. We are hearing and caring. πππ

Hi @Annhart
My sincere condolences to you. Iβm New here too but my heart goes out to you.
My husband died then 10 days later my father died but you have the extra challenge of being in a pandemic
With your husband so far away you really need to know that he will be there for you and hold you in his arms sometime soon.
Just take one day, one task at a time and donβt try and do it all yourself.
Do you have siblings?
Iβm sending you hugs and understanding.
Eve7

Re: Far from home
I cannot even start to imagine what you are going through at this moment. One loss is heartbreaking, another... without description. Being alone and unable to return to those you connect with is without a doubt one of the times in your life you will know in yourself you are strong and resilient.
I, for one am in awe of you, and I hope even for a moment you can feel that for yourself. These times are life changing for everyone, and even more for those moving in trying moments. Keep moving forward like you are already doing, you are stronger than you feel.
