I’m so sorry to hear about your partner. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that might be helpful.

Sorry for your loss
There’s no easy answers and the new reality is a bitter pill to swallow
We have to just do the best we can.
Tree and bench solidifies her legacy and a place you can spend time with her
