Hi Rosfla,
Welcome to the Forums. Thank you so much for sharing this. We are so deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, someone who it is clear you adored. You have come to a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space, and we are glad that you are here.
It is completely understandable for things to be feeling overwhelming right now, especially given the recency of this loss. Are you connected with any bereavement or mental health support currently? This is understandably an incredibly painful time, and it’s really important you and your family are supported through it. If you could use some more support, please have a look at the advice and directories on the Beyond Blue website here. We'd highly recommend talking to Griefline, on 1300 845 745 (8am-8pm AEST every day).
Please know that you're not alone with this, you can call the Beyond Blue support service at any time, too, on 1300 22 4636. They can help you talk this through and will also be able to help you plan what's next so that you have that support in place, or even just be a source of comfort if you’re not up to planning the “what’s next?” right now. Lifeline is also always available if ever you need, on 13 11 14 or online.
Thank you again for reaching out today. We hope that you find some comfort here from our wonderful community, and please feel free to keep us updated on how you're going, whenever you feel ready. This community is here for you, anytime.
Kind regards,
Sophie M
