Losing my partner

I lost my partner recently. It all happened so quicly from diagnosis. He spent most if his time in hospital from the end of june. He had chemo for leukeamia but caught sepsis which he fought and beat. He had more chemo but caught sepsis again, this time he was put on life suppirt and i visited every day for 2 weeks even though he was in an induced coma. They tried to wake him but the sepsis attacked all of his irgans and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to turn everything off. This is truly the worse feeling ever

I lost my partner and best friend 7 weeks ago. He had had ill health for the past 25 years. He still managed to be the kindest, thoughtful man. The last year he fought and beat sepsis, twice. Then he suddenly died of pneumonia. He was away with the dogs, at the caravan. Nearly 40 years together and he dies alone. I have experienced grief before, this is on another level. My heart is truly broken. I feel nothing but sadness. I don’t recognise me. I was always seen as the strong one. I think i am still thought of in that way. My adult children don’t understand. I wish all of us, some peace x

I’m sorry for your loss. My partner died just over two weeks ago, suddenly. We were on holiday, he got an infection, sepsis, toxic shock then organ failure. Thursday evening we were out having dinner, Saturday night he was in intensive care, and he died the early hours of Sunday morning. It’s like living a nightmare that just doesn’t end. I just want to wake up and for none of it to be real.
