Gut wrenching grief

[NicMensinga]

Hi everyone,

I've had to reset my quit date yet again. I am feeling frustrated but I am doing my best. 11 months yesterday since I lost the love of my life. I found out on Friday that I have to go to court and read out a victim impact statement of how his death has affected my life. It's just brought everything back up for me.. I spent all day yesterday crying and today I feel like I can barely function... I know being smoke-free will help me but when I feel like this, all reasoning goes out the window. I hope everyone else is still going well.. Just felt I needed to share

Thanks so much! Yes grief is a hard one.. I am so sorry for what  you are going through.. matters of the heart are really tricky..

How long have you quit for now? yes smoking makes my anxiety so bad! I don't sleep well on them either and smoke from 4am onward...

Yes your words helped.. thank you

Empathise your feelings.

Unfortunate !  What has happened ..can not be undone.

Time is the only remedy for such things.

However,

Show must go on, so good to get new date and move on.

All the best !
