@Pinkypig I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m not sure I can give too much advice as I only lost my wonderful husband 5 weeks ago. I would say I’ve just taken a day at a time, I’ve cried when I needed to and then picked myself up again as best I can. Do you have family and friends to support you? Sending love and hugs to you x

I am so sorry for you loss, it is six months since I lost my husband. Allow yourself to grieve, cry when you need to. I feel all sorts of emotions hurt, upset and angry, don’t feel you have to be brave. I have never felt such pain, we had been married 52 years and only had 7 weeks from diagnosis. I have found this site to be very helpful so keep posting, don’t be afraid to say how you feel x

Although your feeling the way you are please don’t have these thoughts.
The hurt will ease day by day and you will see a way ahead, it won’t go away quick enough for you but it will eventually. I lost the love of my life four months ago very quickly and it hit me like a rock,she was my soul mate. We’d been together for twenty-five years and they were the best day of my life.
Take care and keep the chin up. :heart:

Thank you silver fox. Perhaps it was a moment of madness and desperation. It’s also the fear of the unknown. X

Thank you. At the moment I’m just struggling. Your mind can’t seem to focus on one thing. Feel I’m going daft.

Thank you. X

Tenpin you are in shock, I tried to put on a brave face to the outside world and it came back to bite me. Allow yourself to grieve, rage at the world, cry do whatever you need to but don’t give up.

Thank you. All of you are so right with your advice. But we all know how hard it is at first. As far as my partner was concerned the world started and ended with me. We waited a full 6 months after his diagnosis for treatment. By then too late. They gave him 6 months for me he lasted 18. He was so strong and only wanted me looking after him . I did it all gladly. I feel robbed and cheated and so guilty for wanting him back even though he was in pain. The emptiness is overwhelming me. And now I feel I’m repeating myself and being selfish moaning about me. I’m sorry people. Xx

Tenpin don’t be sorry for saying how you feel, we only had 7 weeks after my husband was diagnosed with Bile Duct Cancer. I looked after him at home after his surgery to put a stent in, it was his wish to die at home which he did very peacefully.

@Tenpin I’m so sorry x. I lost my wonderful husband 5 weeks ago at aged 56 and the sadness is overwhelming isn’t it, I’m trying to just take a day at a time, that’s all we can really do. Do you have family and friends, take any support you can at this time. Please look after yourself and remember you aren’t alone, reach out on this forum whenever you need to, sending love x

Please stay strong, talk to us, grief is hard but please talk to someone, i lost my soul mate 10 weeks ago from cancer its hard every day but my memories of him kerp me focused and i treasure them.

Thank you both. I do have family but they have never lost a partner. I was told there’s 3 different types of grieving losing a parent/ close family member losing a child and losing a partner. All are horrible. I think a partner is always half of you. X

Hi so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain as
my dear husband died suddenly and unexpectedly. He’d had a major operation two months before his death and had been given the all clear the day before he died. That evening he took a turn for the worse and died the next day from a cardiac arrest. We had been married for 48 very happy years. The pain I feel is unbearable, I’m sure part of me died that awful day when he passed. I have cried so much, felt anger, depression and anxiety. This is the most painful time of my life and I really don’t know how people get through the loss of a devoted partner. I tried to take one day at a time but find myself looking towards my future, there seems no future …I have lost my world :broken_heart:
