Death of ex partner 2 months after breakup

Yesterday I found out that my ex partner who I’ve split up with 2 months ago has passed away in his sleep. He was 38 years of age. He wasn’t the most healthy man but he wasn’t on death’s door. I don’t know how to cope with this . Now I am going through so many emotions, grief, guilt for breaking up with him. The exact cause of death is unknown at this stage yet but I can’t help but feel his last 2 months of life could have been hard perhaps because I’ve decided to end the relationship.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that may help right now.
