I had a different problem about 4 years ago when my husband suddenly passed away from a heart attack. It was a shock! Instantly, I had a stomach problem caused by so much stress, and within 10 days after his death, I lost 10 kilos. I had depression, especially because: "What do I do now, now that I am alone?"
My neurologist/psychiatrist gave me meds to calm down my nerves and helped me, but then the side effects were also enormous because they gave me cognitive issues, so I stopped the meds and went on with life. Nowadays, I'm doing meditation and joining a social community in Vienna that offers cultural/Sports/food meet-ups, etc. Stress is a critical factor in a person's well-being. I am 70 years old, live alone with a simple lifestyle, no drama...and life is much quieter nowadays.
Sorry to hear about your husband.
Vienna is gorgeous first of all. Soon it is gluhwein season :)
Now, just imagine if everyone through life did similar and before difficult times. If community and health were the focus of us all, and for business. A different world and far less issues.
I am happy to hear that life continues on for you. My wife might be in that situation (and nearly was a few years ago) and I would want her to move on fast.
Oh yes, soon it is the cold season, and Glühwein is good for the nerves, lol! Oh by the way, I have been taking natural supplement by mixing:
1 tsp of turmeric powder,
a dash of black ground pepper (to bind the turmeric powder)
2 tsps of apple cider vinegar
2 tsps lemon juice
2 tsps olive oil
1 tsp of honey
I mix them and drink it in the morning on an empty stomach 3x a week. It helps a bit with gut inflammation. Maybe you ought to try it.
Thank you for your thoughts; I appreciate it. I hope your wife will move on fast, and that you´ll recover from those stomach issues. Best regards!
