My lovely partner has been gone four months tomorrow and I am still living the nightmare as so many are, of missing him beyond belief.
My daughter is expecting her first baby tomorrow and is having a c-section. I am totally thrilled/excited for the new arrival. However I feel so very sad about my partner not being by my side to celebrate and share all the joy surrounding a new baby. This is dragging me down as it is making me miss him so much and so scared I will fall apart tomorrow when everyone will be excited about the new baby, as will I of course, but with a heavy heart at the same time.
Just needed to get that off my chest.

@Elite I think this is perfectly normal part of you grieving, missing your partner being there when good, nice things happen, and there is not much better than your daughter bringing a new life into the world.
Of course you will feel sad because he is not there to see the new arrival but you can also be excited enough for the both you and your newly enlarged family.
Take care of yourself…Pete
