Hello @Deon6570,

I can see you’re new to the community, so I wanted to say thank you for reaching out for support.

Difficulty supporting partner during grief, feel blame

Thank you Pilot Life is beautiful, and we cannot surround ourselves around people who push and hurt us.

We also have lots of resources for supporting someone who is grieving. Our Grief Kind campaign can help. You can:

• Watch our Grief Kind classes. Our Grief Kind classes are five short video tutorials in which Sue Ryder bereavement experts talk you through what grief is like and how you can support others who are grieving
• Listen to our Grief Kind podcasts. Our Grief Kind podcasts are hosted by author, journalist and Sue Ryder ambassador, Clover Stroud. She speaks with celebrities about their personal experiences of bereavement and the support which helped them most when coping with their grief.
• Read our guide on supporting someone else who has been bereaved.

I hope that you find these resources helpful. Please take good care of yourself, too - the community is here for you too.
