Eight weeks ago at exactly 1pm I held his hand and said my final goodbye to my soulmate
My pain is as intense today as it was on that day. I’m trying to move on with my life but at times it seems so pointless

Our circumstances are very similar Cadge. My partner had a massive heart attack and had a week in ICU but his organs failed and they couldn’t save him. He was just turned 69 and we had been together for 35’yesrs. It was all so sudden and unexpected.

It will be 7 weeks tomorrow that I said goodbye to my husband and the last couple of days have been awful. I cannot sleep or focus on anything and don’t know what to do with myself. I know I have to pull myself together but it feels like an impossible task. I am back at work but it is taking me so long to complete things and then I am exhausted. I have only just got dressed and I am going to make myself go for a walk. I just hope things will get a little easier in the coming weeks as I know he would have hated me to be like this. Love to you all going through this and thank god we have each other to talk to. Xx

Cadge you are so much younger than me, I was nearly 8 years older than my partner, I will be 77 in three weeks time but I don’t think age can make it any better. It’s like your life suddenly changes and what was once normal is no longer

Hi Anne, I think you are right. It is everything you have known has suddenly gone and you have to find a new ‘normal’ whatever that is. My husband was only 44 when he died of glioblastoma and had never been ill before bot age makes no difference. It is all bloody awful. Take care. Xx

Biliet that is so sad. At least I was able to hold my loved ones hand as he passed. I don’t know how I would have coped without that final moment. I am so sad t think of you not having that last moment with him

My husband collapsed at home and I was in Benidorm. I saw him Saturday and he died Monday . I will never forget that moment I got the call . They couldn’t have saved him as he had cardiac tamponade and a heart attack . We were together 31 years and we were so in love . It’s a cruel world

I brought him home from hospital on the Friday and he died on the Sunday. I was lucky that I could do this but I had to fight to get him out which is what he wanted and then I had to fight again to get hospice nurses. I stayed with my husband until he passed and I am only realising now after hearing some of your posts how grateful I am that I did this. It was a very hard thing to do but I made sure I was with him. This is not always possible for some people and my heart goes out to those who denied this. Xx

Jol that must have been a terrible shock for you, especially being so far away. At least I was with him and able to hold him as he passed

@Annde it was a horrific shock my love . We were so close . I know it sounds mad but he was a blind date and he asked me to marry him after a week . I will never forget the love I saw in his beautiful blue eyes . It is so sad for all of us on this site . My love to you

Nothing can prepare us for the loss of a loved one especially when it is so sudden and so unexpected. Two months to the day tomorrow and I still can’t believe that he has gone. My sympathies are with all who have suffered losses, unfortunately it happens to us all at some point but that knowledge does nothing to heal the pain
