Coping with Loss: Sleeping in Our Bed Again

it's been 5mths since my husband passed and I just now got up the courage to sleep in our bed again. I bought a new pillow and put his shirt on it like a pillowcase. I Snuggle with it. His scent is still present on our bed. It's sad yet comforting. I don't ever want to lose it. My anxiety still tells me not to do it, so I have to medicate myself before laying down or I'll have a panic attack. I miss him so much. Life just hasn't been the same.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine all you’ve had to go through to get to this point in healing. Keep taking care of yourself and know that you are doing amazing each day even if all you do that day is work hard to survive until the next. I hope with time this pain eases for you. 💕

😥 I am sincerely sorry for your loss. My dad passed away in January this year. I miss him terribly, but it is absolutely heartbreaking to see what my mom is going through. I am so sorry that you are going through it as well. 💔 I am sending you prayers 🙏 and hugs 🫂

Wow, your post and comment made me cry. I couldn't imagine. I've never experienced a close loss of a loved one, but I hope life gets easier for you soon.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope things get easier for you as time goes on even though I know the loss never really goes away.

I know the pain never goes away. In a way I want it too, another I don't. Pain from grief is love not knowing where to go. I love him with a love only people dream about. I'm ready for my time to come.
