Clearing the flat of my partner who took his life

I am 22 and it has been just over two weeks since my boyfriend very suddenly took his life. Last saturday I visited his flat to collect belongings and clear it out and it was truly one of the hardest things I ever had to do. To be in the space where so much love and happy memories happened, to see it so quiet and empty broke my heart. It was like he was just there, his bag was still on the table and my toothbrush still in the bathroom. To be in the actual room where he took his life, it was so beyond upsetting i struggle to put it into words. It hurts so much, i miss him desperately

I can’t begin to think how difficult this must of been for you.
Our loved ones possessions and life are so hard to face for the ones left behind, especially in traumatic circumstances.
It’s such early days after your loss.
Sending you love .
