The last 13 months have been the worst possible. I lost my mum in April 2023. Followed by my first grandchild at 11 weeks in June 2023. Two weeks ago I lost my partner suddenly. I feel that I’ve been such a bad person in life somehow that I must deserve all of this heartache. Even though rationally I know I’m not a bad person. I’m a good friend and mum who always puts others first. I thought I had so much more time left with my partner, he was only 63 and I’m not 60 yet. I work from home and he was always here. I have family and friends but they have their own lives, I don’t want to burden them. I don’t know what to do.

Hi sorry that you are going through such a terrible time, I know what you mean about feeling like a horrible person and why me?? I think a lot of us feel like that. Chatting to people on here really helps and we are all on kind of the same journey. I lost the love of my life my darling husband 8 months ago and my heart is truly broken. I don’t have family or friends around me but I’ve met some lovely people on here. Here if you want a chat.x

Sounds like you have had more than your fair share and I am so sorry because I know what that feels like. I wish I knew why bad things happen to good people. You are not a bad person and you don’t deserve any of this. For me, I just take one day at a time, or even an hour or a minute, wait for the wave to crash and breathe again. Be kind to yourself. Much love. Xx

Thank you for your kind words, especially when you are feeling it yourself. I’m feeling totally lost at the moment. I know it comes in waves, but it is overwhelming. Take care xx

Thank you for your kind words xx
Your not a bad person at all unlucky but not bad.
I lost a granddaughter she was 23 weeks pre term then shortly after my husband in September 2023 after a battle with cancer.
I feel everyone else, including my grown up children, that their lives are all moving forward and I’m left floundering with a life I don’t know how to live.
I thought I’d done pretty well but the last month or so has been really tough and I just want to cry all the time.
Like you I’m just 60 and we were looking forward to a retirement of travelling and spending time together. I feel I’ve been robbed of this and I feel very angry and jealous when I see friends and family getting the time we won’t have.
It’s rubbish but I suppose we have to keep going there is no choice.
