I’m not sure I’ll ever get over the death of my husband

DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband died suddenly three years ago, aged 75, and I’m still heartbroken.

We were married for 49 years and I miss him so much, I cry every day.

I always thought I’d be the one to go first so when he collapsed, I was totally devastated

Everywhere I go just reminds me of him and even if I have a good day I’ll then feel all upset because he hasn’t shared it with me.

I always thought I’d be the one to go first so when he collapsed from a massive stroke I was totally devastated.

They say time heals, but that’s a lie.

No issue is too small, too large or too embarrassing. Read our personal replies here.

I’m now 78 and have nothing to look forward to. I just want to be reunited with my husband.

The anniversary of his death is coming up and my family wants to mark it. But I don’t know if I can bear that.

On the outside, I appear to be fine but on the inside, I’m just broken.

DEIDRE SAYS: If you lose someone close to you, the pain can be so intense you think it will never end and that you’ll never be happy again.

But I promise the grief you’re feeling will run its course if you let it out.
Please don’t pretend you’re OK.

If you don’t want to talk to your family, a counsellor can help. My support pack on bereavement will be useful for you to read.
