Two months in losing my partner suddenly, what seems to have been a busy week has now slowed down and I start to feel it in the evening . Tried listening to my music but anything brings me to absolute tears . Can’t watch certain films . I think sometimes it’s the end for me but no I have to stay strong for my kids . My youngest being 11 . Just so much heartache .

I’m so sorry to hear about your partner. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that might be helpful.

It is early days for us.
I totally understand.
I wish I could tell you how to stop the pain but sadly there is no instant answer.
Sending you a very big hug!

I found that around 2 months the reality really started to set in and the pain got way worse. I also have kids , the youngest is 16, and I try to keep it together for them but sometimes I just feel so lost and sad. And another boatload of emotions at the same time.
I can’t listen to music at all as it just reduces me to tears and I can’t watch TV apart from one programme, and I struggle to concentrate to read anything.
So I come on here and this helps - lots of support for you here from others who truly understand.
Sending love and strength. Xx

I am sorry for your loss I too am 2 months in from losing my husband and it’s the worst feeling. I also have a 7 and 10 year old it’s so difficult to navigate them and their grief while also dealing with your own plus paper work, funeral and just day to day. I don’t have any advice I cry a lot but want you to know you’re not alone in your grief.

Hi @Sjw65
I’m so sorry for your loss. My husband’s death was sudden nearly 8 weeks ago too, so i totally understand the sudden shock. Like you all the organising & sorting is gradually coming to an end, but then there’s not so much to keep us busy. Please be kind to yourself & take your time, day by day, I’ve been told, is the best way to move forward. Sending love to you & your family xx
