Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

Hi, I am over a year late.

i am no longer a carer, my husband died on the 19th February this year.

i am feeling very down, this isolation with the corona virus is really getting to me. I miss my husband so much, we were together for 40 years and I just can't imagine my life without him.

Hi @dhr53

thinking of you as you travel your grief journey - cannot imagine what you are feleling - 40 years is a large part of your lifetime to share

What was your favourite way to share time together ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

We just liked being together. Having a cup of tea, working on the farm, holding each other.

Hello @dhr53 and welcome to the forums.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, but.I am so glad you posted here and we can walk along with you on your grief journey.

As a long-term carer you are aware that there are many forms of grief, including "living grief" where you can't change outcomes and have to adjust regardless. Such has been my journey.

I come from farm people .... not my parents, although my mother was raised on a farm, but for the generations before that on both sides of my family, and there are many "people of the land" here on the forums, both country people and Country (First Nation) people.

What is your favourite tea type ? I like English Breakfast, but also a range of herbals, and chai.
