Hi
I’m sorry for your loss.
It’s 6 months since my wife died I only had 3 weeks from diagnosis of metastatic bowel cancer till she died. She was 51 and I’m 52 we were together 30 years. I know exactly how you feel about the trauma of it all I can’t get the last 3 weeks with her out of my head.
Please take care
William

I know what you mean I lost my partner suddenly in May to a heart attack it happened right in front of me. I still have flashbacks I also say I’m ok when I am certainly not. My head is messed up hate my new life he was only 48 I feel cheated we have been through a traumatic event I try and get through each day as best as I can.
Take care

Hi william
I am sorry for your loss i too suffer from the last 4 weeks of his life it plays over and over in my head . His wish was to die at home so i looked after him and witnessed a slow painful death which traumatised me . But the worse thing was to watch our childrens heart break and know this has changed There lives forever . I lost my father 15 months before but he was in his 80’s and had lived a good life and i had 45 years wirh him in my life my childten lost there father at the ages of 26 and 28 and he was an amazing father . I want to thank you for your reply its really good to know that tbis constant replay of the last weeks is normal .
