Hi Sam , Thank you for your reply , I really appreciate it . I've been alright over the last few days , it is hard but I think I have done well . I don't feel like the same person , since Gene died , but I do often get experiences that make me feel that he is close by or watching out for me. Xxx

Hello fiona,

No problem at all. Talking can be a helpful experience for many when you have lost a loved one and we’re here to listen whenever you need us to.

It’s understandable that you say you don’t feel like the same person since your husband, Gene died. Losing someone you love and care about can be a complete life changing experience and it can take a long time to adjust to life without the person in their physical form being around. It’s heart-warming to hear that you often get experiences that make you feel that Gene is close by, or watching you – I hope this is a comfort to you, as it is for many others that share this with us.

I’m glad to hear that you have been feeling alright over the last few days although you say it’s been hard. Taking time to look after yourself and being kind is important so some self-praise when you feel you have done well is a positive thing to remind yourself of during a difficult time.

Take care,

Sam – Support Line Team
