I am in deep emotional pain due to the loss of my husband

[@Your-Grief-Guides]

Of course you are. It's a pain that is truly unimaginable until you have experienced it. And losing a spouse creates so many secondary losses. I am so sorry for your suffering. It is rough and so very hard to go through this grief journey. But some things can make it suck just a bit less. Please reach out for support and don't do this alone. There are great organizations, support groups, websites, communities and events to help you along the way. I promise you there is hope, even though you probably don't feel that right now. Be gracious to yourself.

3:33 why do I feel that I want to scream on the top of my voice as I lost my second mum only a day ago were extremely close I was with her 24 7 and wen she was in hospital I stayed with her till the end never slept for 5 days or nights I feel sick in my stomach all the time is this normal I never eat for 5 days because I just keep getting upset as I'm in shock will the shock ever go away

[@Your-Grief-Guides]

Hi There: This is Ron (one of the Grief Guides on this channel). I'm so sorry about your loss. Obviously, you've been very wounded and it sounds as though you may be in a state of emotional shock. First, let me offer you some hope. What you are feeling now is real and normal, considering your loss, and you are surely not crazy. You've also noticed that you are having physical symptoms as well as emotional symptoms. This is also normal because the psychological, emotional, relational and physical parts of us are all inter-related and each impacts the other. And, while I'm not sure how long ago your second mum died (is that the 5 days you mention?) I can assure you that the shock will lessen and you will begin to feel somewhat normal. However, the road to healing through (not from) grief is probably going to take a while. Please consider listening to more of our individual videos that will help you understand loss, what a grief journey looks like, getting help, forming a base of support and self-help for starters. Be kind to yourself. Don't isolate too much. Figure out who your friends and family members are who are safe to share your feelings with, who don't judge and won't try to fix you - - but just support you.
