Hi, I am trying to cope with the loss of my husband from cancer. I had to put my dog of 13 years down and I wonder if I did the wrong thing. Maybe I could have cared for her longer. Once she went I am on my own. No one to greet you when you come home. I have chronic pain in my upper back that comes around to my chest and makes my legs number when the pain intensifies. Mt feet are numb and always cold. I have trouble now doing everyday things and I just can t seem to teg up and movitated in the mornings. I tell myself I am lazy. Get going. Life is not the same anymore.i was never like this I was happy and always busy active person

hiI understand your concern.It can be part of grief reaction which is result of loss of loved one.Mood dysphoria/ sleep problem/crying spell/weakness/fatigue/ somatic pain and chronic pain etc can part of this.If it will prolong then it may result in depression.Early intervention will bring better recovery.Counseling and psychotherapy help.Grief therapy.Keep your self busy.Never let yourself alone.Discuss with friends and family members.Exercise and meditations will help.Take proper food and sleep.Medicines like SSRI and anxiolytic can help.In SSRI sertraline/escitalopram can help in chronic pain or stress related somatic pain.Still if you have query then feel free to ask.Thank you.Wish you a very good health.
