Just lost my partner Phil of 44 years in the early hours yesterday. I have been caring for him over the last 4 years but his disability was not life threatning. He went into hospital Tuesday with a possible infection with unknown source and died Saturday morning. I am heart broken we had such plans he was my sole mate and I cannot see a way forward on my own. I also lost my beloved father on 17th September who I was also helping so in the space of 8 weeks I have lost both the people closest to me. I feel totally lost & heartbroken just not sure there is any point anymore .
