April 2021 was when my world changed, literally overnight. My husband passed away suddenly in front of me on the kitchen floor. I had to learn to navigate my way through the initial raw stages of Grief and the Trauma that came from that night. I learnt that Grief never goes away, its always there humming away in the background ready to overwhelm me with something that reminds me of that night.
I didnt realise at the time, the trauma I had experienced. The effect it would have on me. I experienced Anger, immense sadness, intermingled with moments of despair at the loss of what do I do now?
I went to see a grief counsellor, she helped me get through the first few months, then went back a couple of years later to someone else, because she had moved locations.
I have taken on new hobbies, and now give support to other widows who may need a bit of encouragement and knowing they arent alone.💙
