This ^Sorry for your loss.
Stay clear of the drink it won't help.
Chances are once the funeral is done it'll all catch up with you and you'll be able to sleep then.
Sorry for your loss mate. Just hang in there, things will improve.Looking for advice from my friends on the wisest board in the world.
My sister died a few days ago and I just can’t sleep. All sorts of random crap in my head. Especially images of her in the final hours of her life.
I have tried a sleeping tablet but still couldn’t get to sleep. I have arranged the funeral and tried to keep busy, but feel exhausted now. And I am doing a brief eulogy on Friday at the service.
Also tried copious amounts of red wine....still struggling.
I’m sure many of you have gone through something similar.
Thanks....
If you're feeling dozey after the walk, get your head down for a couple of hours.Had a good walk this afternoon and have just seen the humanist speaker who will talk about my sisters life on Friday. Feel a bit better. Just need some sleep now! Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts. I really appreciate it. This board is a thing of beauty.
Have cleared out some old messages. Cheers.

You have my thoughts mate, keep yourself right, she is always in your heart and with you at all times.Thanks to everyone who has replied. Some cracking advice. I know that it’s natural, but at the moment I’m dreading going to bed at night.
Have decided to go for a walk along the beach at Shields this afternoon to clear my head.
Hope it gets better after the funeral.x
Awful that, can't imagine how that must feel.just over 8 years ago i lost my partner to a bloodclot on the lung, she collapsed in front of me and died in fron of me at the hospital....
everyone's emotions and mind are different but in the first few weeks that followed i had to go on diazepam to sleep this lasted a few weeks.... i also mixed mine with alcohol not recommended but hey ho in the short term you will have all sorts of emotions/greif etc
longer term i suppose these things effect us in different ways
My best advice i can offer you is bereavement counselling there are some free ones i can send you links to if you want or you can get advice from GP..
give me a shout if u need any advice
P.S. i couldnt get away with anti depressants they made me fool like a zombie and monged out all the time but again everyone is different
Go for a good long walk in the countryside or along the beach if you’re close to one while the sun’s out and got some warmth to it. It’s gorgeous outside right now and a good blast of fresh air in your lungs will never be a bad thing. I often put the world to rights in my head like that.
It isn’t mate, it makes you have a shit nights sleep and he needs a good nights sleep.Most people will say stay clear of alcohol but i honestly think it can be beneficial at times like this, although just go careful with it. It does help to numb the pain
Awful that, can't imagine how that must feel.
Good to see you are carrying on with life mate.
