It took a long long time for me to get over it and I never thought I would, that’s how much it all hurt, but I did. I made a new life by taking decisions and ignoring my loss as much as possible. I had no medical help at all because I didn’t ask for any, I just healed naturally over a long period of time. There was a new future for me, a new reality that I built myself as we can only do. I can’t say that things have been better than if I’d not lost my house and job etc all I can say is the future was different.
Knowing better now I’d see a doctor about sleep and weight loss, some of them also have free counselling attached to the surgery which could help. I hope this helps, best wishes @karl
I just want to check in to see how you are getting on.
