I lost my partner August 2022, he was 54, it was a sudden death, he had a hobby paramotoring in the sky, we didn’t live together but was planning on doing this year, he went flying one evening and fell out of the sky, and died instantly, 
it’s been really tough, I suffer with mental health and grief on top is just so difficult to cope with, we had Been together a year, and he was my soul mate,I’d finally found the one, and now he’s gone, just dont know what to do I try my best to keep going in life, but it’s mighty tough

Sorry for your loss
My husband died suddenly age 58 in July
Just take it hour by hour.
Grief is very individual & just be guided by how you feel each minute / hour.
Sorry you’ve had to join this horrible club we find ourselves in😢
