The first couple of years following the death of your spouse/partner are, statistically speaking, likely to leave you more vulnerable to illness.
When illness does strike, whether it’s a common cold or something more serious, it can stir up an emotional reaction as well. Whatever comfort and support your partner once offered is no longer available to you.
You may find yourself saying:
“Why aren’t you here when I need you?” or “I took care of you but you’re not here to take care of me!”
It’s normal to feel abandoned, angry, depressed and/or anxious under the circumstances.
In our next post, we’ll give you the best ways to cope with these situations.
