I can’t believe that Steve died. We were totally in love with each other and inseparable. We couldn’t sleep without each other. It isnt like a break-up, I’ll never bump into him in town, and we’ll never have the chance to get back together. He is gone and I’m heartbroken. I wonder if he would be reacting like this, I think he probably would.

@SadGirlfriend I think about if roles were reversed and in some ways I wouldn’t want her to go through the pain that I face everyday. This is my first Easter without her and whilst Easter wasn’t the biggest event in the house I missed her even more today because of the little things she would’ve done. I am however dreading Christmas and already thinking with my son that we need a plan - be it going overseas or something.

No, I wouldn’t wish this suffering on anyone, either. Sometimes I think I need to try a bit harder and not to be such a misery, but I think he would feel the same as I do because of how we were with each other.
I also think about Christmas. My dog will be 15 by then, if she is still with me then good, but I plan to close up my house and clear off for a long time once she’s gone, too. I really can’t bear this.

Hi @Pam14
Yes im on my own too for my 1st Easter last year he was here with me.
Now just me no family and friends have their own families to look after.
It really is lonely when you were just used to being a couple you just had each other.
Trying to make new friends and do more but it us hard in your 60’s.
I have been for walk today and now back to empty house. Life really is so hard now.
Take care

I agree it’s nice to be able to cook for someone and they appreciate it! My angel loved my cooking and was always excited to taste whatever I experimented with new recipes - no more of that pleasure now 
Spent first Easter alone gardening, sadly 
Hope everyone was okay x

We usually went away for a weekend break around this time each year but last year we didn’t as we stayed home and started planning for our semi- retirement which was to commence in Jan.2024!
It never happened devastatingly
