Does this ever get better

Hi everyone,

Sending everyone a big hug.

Does this feeling of hurt ever go away. Am over 2 years in of losing my partner of 18 years he was only 36.

Our 6 year old daughter is the only thing keeping me going.

Sat here all day and cried, i see people getting on with day to day without a care in the world and i think why me, why us. His death was so sudden and i dont think i can ever accept it.

I have flash backs from when it happened and seeing him at his resting place.

I put a act on for everyone and say am doing ok, but in fact am really not.

Its so hard.

Hi Claire i can’t say it gets easier I’m 3 years on this awful journey and still cant believe what happened, but you do learn to adapt to a different way of life. We will never get over losing a loved one the price we pay for love i guess. You have a little girl to keep you going and to love for the both of you make the most of these precious young years they grow up so fast make new memories and always talk about her daddy to her . Hugs to you :people_hugging:

Oh Claire I’m so sorry you lost your husband so young.
You have reminded me of sons best friends dad when he was in primary school. He was diagnosed with cancer and died shortly after - it was so sad and they were so much younger than us.
I’m almost 6 months in and so have no real advice I can offer but I send you a huge virtual hug and lots of love and strength
My kids give me some joy and hope even though they are so sad at the loss of their dad.
Reach out to those you love and let them know how you are feeling. It’s good to share this pain and anguish.
Or keep posting here. This site is really helpful and we understand and can offer support, kindness and the knowledge you are not alone
Take care and I hope you sleep well tonight xxx
