Members Missy1 Posted August 10, 2020 Members Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I lost my husband 6 months ago, it seems very strange to me how time passes by. The empty hours filled with work and mindless chores, which turn into weeks then into months. I am still in pain and miss him the same as day 1, everything day. Sounds like moving was probably very wise for you and your Daughter, proud of you that you were able muster the strength. Survival is our instinct pushing through what needs to be done. The quarantine makes it so much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members @LeeNic Posted August 10, 2020 Members Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 @garysgirl I lost my husband two weeks ago tomorrow. I miss him.... and can’t grasp he is gone. It’s like he’s on a business trip and will be home soon. I can’t imagine how much energy and emotional strength it took to move. Moving is hard in normal circumstances but when you add grief on top of it, I’m guessing your panic attacks are the result of just too much. We can only process so much. Take care of yourself and remember just one day at a time. If your attacks continue, you should go to your doctor and/or therapist to help deal with them. They can become debilitating. Sending you love.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have damn panic attacks every time I move. I think often it is stress, being tired and questioning everything about a new place. ((HUGS)). If it felt right then it probably was right and after some rest it may feel that way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes we hold it together when we have to and then let down when it's over, I went through that during the storm we had 1 1/2 years ago, the hardest one I've ever been through, w/o electricity, water, flushing, phone, internet, for over eight days, could not go anywhere for all of the frozen snow (4'5"). When my son showed up, I cried with relief! Catharsis. For you, you were being strong and holding it together, now you're feeling the anxiety about what's to come...try to stay in today, after 15 years I have to do that still...
