losing a partner

Hello everyone, not used to posting on any site, let alone this one. Lost my soulmate in August 2023 and I can identify with a lot of feelings expressed in your posts. I used to imagine losing him, but the reality is much worse. I knew he had a terminal illness, but still I was not prepared for the worst, I suppose I was in denial. Anyway the inevitable happened, at home, where he wanted to be. It’s not something anyone can prepare for, losing someone that you have been close to for so long. Hopefully, time and reading about other people’s experiences will help me to accept what has happened and that I am not the only one to have lost someone close.

Thanks for reaching out, very much appreciated, it’s good to hear from a fellow griever and somehow just hearing from someone out there whose going through the same makes me feel a little better! Thank you, again.

If you need to talk, am always here, if you’re worried about what you’re feeling, being a little further along the road, maybe i can reassure that it’s ‘normal’. If there is such a thing on this roller coaster! :heartpulse:. Elizabeth x

Thank you, that’s nice to know Elizabeth.

I can relate so much to your story my partner died on 2nd December 23. He was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma grade 4 terminal brain cancer in September. They gave him 2/3 months which was heartbroken he died with me at home which was his wish. Although I knew we didn’t have long and managed to say everything we needed to say, it was no easier when he passed. He was 55 and I thought we had many happy years ahead. It was still a total shock when he passed I wanted longer life can be so cruel I’ve lost my soul mate sending hugs x

So sorry for your loss Debbie, such a sudden loss can be devastating and no words can console you at this time. But know that you are not alone in your loss there are many people going through this distressing situation, all trying to find their way again, in what can feel like a lonely time. Feel free to contact me anytime when you feel like things are too much, I am a good listener and truly know what you are going throughXXXX
