Hi I honestly never thought I would ever be able to write this because the pain is still as raw as it was when I lost her :broken_heart: my lisa was my everything my rock my partner my soul mate best friend we were together 13 wonderful years and then one morning I got up to go to the bathroom and she was at the bottom of the stairs my world completely crumbled that day I had to watch her fight for her life for 19 days it was traumatic watching her fight so hard to stay with me but it just wasn’t meant to be she passed on 26th September 2024 my whole life shattered even 7 months in the pain is still exactly the same I will never get over losing her she was the light of everyone’s life not just mine, everyone said it would get easier but I’m still in full blown grief, I feel like the rest of my life has been robbed from me and I know I will never get over losing her my heart is completely shattered I miss her so much :sob::broken_heart:

I lost my wonderful Beverley after 13 years so I know how you feel. Though it has only been 2 months for me. She was 49 and it was so sudden. Everyone here, is here for each other. I hope you get the help you need.

I am, sorry for your loss.
I’m a little behnd you at 14 weeks. I know how you feel. We were married for 33 years, what now were the best years of my life. People on here i am afraid know what you are going through so if you need to rant or ramble. Then do so i have found it helps. Please take care and look after yourself.

I know what you’re going through. I am at exactly the same stage as you. I lost my wife 18th October 2024. She was fit and healthy but Cancer took her from us very quickly and she battled right to the very end. We were together for 44 years we met when she was only 17 years old. The only advice I can give you is you will have good and bad days embrace the good days and on the bad days… ( just take care of yourself)

Yes some days I can just about get through then other days like today I have sobbed all day even sat outside supermarket in my car watching couples shop together is too hard something we did together now I don’t even eat meals it’s no fun eating alone so most days don’t eat :sob: I don’t know one person in my life that has lost their partner so they don’t understand the pain of everyday life without your soulmate beside you! It’s good to know that you lovely people on here understand the pain I’m going through and I feel for you all aswell it’s so hard thank you for your kind words :heart:

So very sorry for your loss.
Yes we all understand on here just how it feels to lose our soulmates whether we have been with them for a long or short time it is devastating.
It’s a totally different grief because we chose that partner who we fell in love with so we mourn everything about them. The friendship, the closeness, the secrets we shared, our rock who would never let us down, mother or father of our children it’s never ending what they mean to us…
We can only hope time will make it a least a bit easier to bear.:heart:

Take care, you are not alone xxx
