Someone, but I didn’t I’ve never felt like I mend nothing in my whole life, I have been through the cancer treatment from the word go carried our baby protecting her she was a gift to him and now I’m just a nobody and it hurts to know the one person who made me feel I was someone isn’t here no more.
I don’t know if I am grieving I don’t know all
I know is im alone and trying to be the strongest I can for my children.
@Abby1723 so sorry for your loss. It’s such early days for you. Coping with grief and young children is unimaginable. Our daughter is an adult but I found the grief overwhelming. I still fo sometimes even 16 weeks later. I too lost my husband to cancer, also only finding out it was terminal weeks before he passed away. Life is cruel. I have found this forum a source of comfort. Just knowing others understand what you are going through. Hopefully it will help you too. Sending hugs
You are still somebody even though it doesn’t feel like it. You are a special person in your own right as I’m sure your boyfriend thought as well.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I wasn’t married either so I didn’t get to plan things and felt very helpless and the family did it all. (I was due to get married the day after he died) I now understand they were all trying to deal with their grief and shock and couldn’t think about mine.
I got together with my friends and family before the funeral and said a bit about him and we read a Bible verse and I played ‘our song’ that really helped to feel like I’d said goodbye.
He loved you and your children, Never forget that. No one can take it away.
