Dear lybrate-User, I'm very sorry to hear about your husband, However moving forward is the policy. Since you already been on psychiatric treatment and cured the depression once now this time it will be better of you go for counselling sessions, there will be really helpful. You can take online counselling session by contacting the psychologist even over a phone call however i'm sharing few tips which should help you to get better sleep 1. For once talk to someone where you can share all your feelings and emotions and bring everything out. 2. Start look up for some part time work based outside of home. 3. Avoid talking about how the incident happen. 4. Start writing the negative thoughts you get and do not read it again- writing is one of the best way if in case no one is available. For sleep: 1. Keep light music on. 2. Avoid phone let me know if I can assist further.

Dear mam, I am sorry for your loss. It must be a difficult time for you and coping with everything could be quite overwhelming. The first step will be to see your psychiatrist and restart the medications as it had helped you in past. Apart from medicine, you need to work on your coping skills and how to deal with your loss. Try and build a strong support system as you will need them time and again. Talk to your friends and family about how you are feeling. Take care of yourself. Take out some time to exercise and meditate. You will also benefit from psychological therapy to help you deal with your stressors.
