It’s a month today since my fiancé passed

Coping with bereavement
1

My fiancé of 14 years passed away on the19th feb this year, he was taken so quick after a short illness, my heart is breaking each day gets harder to cope he was my world, my soulmate :broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart: you look for small blessings in amongst all the pain (I.e we were there when he passed, he’s at peace now etc etc) but it doesn’t even begin to chip away at the pain. I know it’s really early still but it’s so difficult to imagine my life without him. We seen each other every day in life. And now all I have is his resting place to bring some comfort. It’s like life took us up into a tornado and dumped us into this whole new unfamiliar world to get on with.

I’ve never used any forums like this before but my daughter thought it would be less lonely to speak to people who have experienced the same.

Hello Angela,

I am so glad you posted here. We all understand where you are and how you feel. We have all been there and many of us feel the same way. If you dip into some of the conversations, you will see. I am so sorry he has gone and so fast. That is hard, really hard. You have come a long way already and there is a long road ahead. I know, because I am here on it with you. My husband died in January after a gruelling experience of cancer. I talk to him all the time and miss him so much. The life we planned, the fun we had, the familiarity- all gone. But not my love for him. That remains. You will survive these tough days, Angela. So take a breath. Think what his advice would be. We are all here for you.
