Hello , I’ve just joined the community. I am wanting to know if anyone is suffering from any physical or unexplainable symptoms due to a bereavement. I’ve not been the same since my partner died in Feb 2015 . I have a constant ache in my throat and chest as well as aches all over docs and physio at a loss to what’s going on, will be interested to hear from anyone going through similar as I can’t see an end to it xx
