I miss having someone to talk to about daily life things and having that someone in your corner, who wants to support you, be there for you and love you unconditionally.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 23 Feb 2023 11:33:05 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/grief-and-loss/the-loss-of-companionship/m-p/559630#M4777 Sunflower23 2023-02-23T11:33:05Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/grief-and-loss/the-loss-of-companionship/m-p/559637#M4778 <P><STRONG>Hi Sunflower,</STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Thats great you are bringing the emotions to light.&nbsp;<BR />I once experienced something similar. The person was very dear to me and together we had moments of fun, sadness and bliss.&nbsp;<BR />When we had to separate the days just stopped being nicer. I lost faith that things will ever get better. I lost all the energy even to be slightly functional to take care of my health or work. It was really difficult to sleep and I hated the morning where I had nothing to look forward. People would tell me that it would get better but I didn’t have any ability to believe or even comprehend it.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Today, 5 years Later I don’t feel that pain. I stopped feeling hopeless even after 3rd year. It was extremely gradual but I finally got recovered from the loss.&nbsp;<BR />I now know happiness which is very different from what I used to experience. I feel self-worth rather than self-pity and I am using my time effectively to bring happiness and joy in others and myself.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></STRONG></P><P><STRONG>I shared the above experience in a hope that you might get something out of it. Even though you won’t be able to believe that things could ever get better , it does.&nbsp;<BR /><BR /></STRONG></P><P><STRONG>Time is the real healer. If possible rely on a support group and stay close to the people who you would give some considerations.<BR />I wish you good luck and speedy recovery. </STRONG></P> Thu, 23 Feb 2023 12:44:51 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/grief-and-loss/the-loss-of-companionship/m-p/559637#M4778 odaat 2023-02-23T12:44:51Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/grief-and-loss/the-loss-of-companionship/m-p/559689#M4779 <P>Thank you for sharing your experience with me.
