Trouble Sleeping After Husband's Death

I have tried some sleep medications, several actually. Some did the job but made my RLS worse. Now I'm on one that has a bad side effect that can make you sleep walk in a way. It's like your awake but doing all sorts of things. Scares me so much is rather not take them unless I really need too.

I take sleep 3 brand melatonin, I fall asleep then stay asleep. and to help the lonely in bed feeling, I have a weighted blanket and a large stuffed dinosaur, and sometimes a heating pad. It feels childish, but having some light pressure, warmth, and something to hold, makes me feel like things will be okay. I also like listening to ASMR or music with rain sounds to help tell my brain it's time to be still

I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish I had some kind of answer but I just don’t. I know losing a family member you dearly love is devastating and nothing makes it any better. What I can do is be here for the support you may need and send you prayers during your most difficult moments.
