Extended Grief?

I lost my partner of 14 years a year ago tomorrow. Is this feeling of anxiety and being lost going to get better? I’ve sought the support of a psychiatrist and counselor and it doesn’t seem to have helped so far. I’m working and trying to care for my pets, home and myself but each day is such a struggle. Anyone else experience similar?

Hello MDRG

Thank you for your message. I am so sorry to hear about your partner, tomorrow will be a difficult day for you.

Your feelings of being lost and anxiety are very natural in your circumstances. It sounds as if you are working very hard to help your situation.

There is a forum called bereavement care and share that you may want to look at.

You might also consider getting in touch with CRUSE bereavement care cruse.org
