My partner passed away suddenly a few weeks ago. I’m now on my own looking after our 11 year old. I’m struggling as I can’t even put him to rest yet. I feel so lost

Thank you yeah im 37 he was only 34
Yeah ive lived here most of my life.
34 is so young. How is your daughter? Its just absolutely devastating.
My husband passed in Sep, he was 46. My kids are teenagers.
For me the first week was unbelievably painful. I couldn’t see how I could carry that pain, day after day. Then one day it didnt feel as bad, I think our brains protect us as it knows pain like that us too much for us to bear day after day. However, then it came back again a few days later. I got stuck into redecorating our room (it was a reminder of him being unwell and passing at home in a horrible hospital bed) and I was busy and kept my mind busy but last week the pain has just floored me again.
I listen to the Widowed AF podcast, it helps to hear other people’s stories at different stages of their lives after losing their partners.
As you are so young, you can join widowed and young. A lot of people find that helpful too.
Are you or your daughter looking for counselling? My daughter is having nightmares and I cant find anything.
I do find the lack of support and information appalling. Then theres all the forms, calls etc you have to go through at such a difficult time.
Hopefully speaking to others here and on other forums helps.
Dear @Kaylee
I’m so sorry for the loss of your partner.
My husband died in sleep in March and I’m now the lone parent for our teenage son. Really hurts to not only experience my loss but also to see the sadness in your child’s eyes too.
It’s only been a few weeks so your mind is likely still processing what happened. I hope you have support around you. There are children’s grief charities that can also help.
Please look after yourself even if you don’t want to and keep posting here if you need to offload.
Take care
