I think I’m coping then I just breakdown just like a emotional rollercoaster.
Any help would be much appreciated
A lovely lady here, Liz Horwill, introduced me to the Suno AI music app. For me it has been massive. Having written pages of words over the past two years - revisiting those moments and thoughts, seeing these past two years from two years later, writing lyrics for which Suno provides the music (I state the themes and vibe) has connected with something deep inside I never knew was there. And then in the past few days I tried adding our videos with the music behind. And that has reconnected with something even deeper. Personal therapy … honouring our forty years … indulgence … or whatever other label works. All I do know is that it does indeed work (and has become a wonderful outlet).
Now uploaded to YouTube here is my “The Who-What-Why” ….

It helps to be reminded often that in time the grief of our loved ones loss😢 will become less raw. Sometimes we feel as though we’ll never smile again, or never enjoy a sunrise or sunset. That’s not so. Each day you’re taking one more step on this grief journey and those raw edges are growing softer and we learn to know happiness again 💙🌹🌈

Good afternoon
Two to two and a half years ago, my wife started showing signs of confusion and memory loss. Very mild to begin with.
Shortly after this, the GP made the likely diagnosis of early-onset dementia, which, of course, was a worry.
The problems slowly took their toll with an increase in memory loss and confusion, with a speech impediment. She found it hard to string a sentence together, which made communication difficult
This situation continued until last Sept. when she had two fits and was the start of her life in hospital. After about twelve weeks, she was allowed home when a care package was put in place.
This started with four-hourly visits per day, culminating with 24-hour care, with me being the unpaid carer
Hi Neil, I lost my husband just over 4 months ago he had strokes which took away his speech and gradually his ability to swallow anything solid over a period of 11yrs. It is hard to say how long each of us will take to come to terms with everything. I have wobbles but I know Alan would want me to get on with my life I know he will always be with me and we had 43 good years together. Don’t know if you’ve joined the WhatsApp group but there are always people on there who you can talk to you are not on your own
Hi Mark sorry for your loss, I lost my husband nearly 8 months ago after being together 43yrs. I still have my moments of tears but now some of them are happy ones. No one can say how long or how you should cope with loss everyone is an individual. I looked after Alan for nearly 12yrs so knew something would happen at sometime but god did it hit me when it happened. I would say I am adjusting, just don’t bottle your emotions up it’s still very early days. not sure if you’ve joined the what’s app groups but lots of people on there who will always be willing to listen and give support.
