Hello @caitxo - so very sorry to hear of your loss. There’s no right or wrong way to feel - grief works differently for all of us. Somedays we’ll be ‘ok’ , some days we’ll cry and shout and curse life for being unfair to us, other days we’ll laugh and feel normal. Don’t feel guilty about how you feel. I hope you can get some comfort from these forums - there’s a lot of good advice from some good people who are all going through the same as you and me. Best wishes.

Hi @caitxo
Im sorry for your loss, im around the same age as you and in the same position of having lost my partner. Its the hardest situation to navigate but no matter how you’re grieving or feeling, its not wrong. Im still confused every day about how i feel but i know its normal to not have all the answers. just be kind to yourself and ride the wave.
