Hi @Casey1

I’m so sorry to read your message and hear about the passing of your soulmate, Pauline. 20 days is such a short amount of time - though I know it can sometimes feel like a lifetime - and your feelings must be incredibly raw.

I was worried to read that you are struggling and don’t to be here anymore. These feelings sound difficult to cope with by yourself. It sounds like you’re looking for support and I’m glad that you’ve been able to talk about how you’re feeling here. There is lots of other support out there, and I would really encourage you to reach out and speak to someone about how you are feeling.

    • Shout are contactable by text, 24/7. You can text SHOUT to 85258 and talk to them about anything.
    • If you are at risk of harming yourself, please call 999 or contact your GP for an emergency appointment immediately.

Sue Ryder offers an online bereavement counselling service, if you would find that helpful. This is a free service and sessions are held via video chat so you can attend from home. There’s more information about this service here: www.sueryder.org/counselling.

Take care of yourself,

Hi casey hang in there. Message any time. It is really hard. Lost my partner 3 weeks ago, my best friend. I know it is very tough and it does feel as if your heart is being ripped out. I have felt desperate too but our partners wouldn’t want us to give up.

Eleanor thankyou i called the samartians last because I was desperate to talk to some one I won’t do anything foolish Pauline wouldn’t want that and I have to think of our pets whom we both love they give me a reason to get up everyday

Hi casey, its very early days and very raw still for you. What an awful time you are having. There are lots of us that are hear to listen and chat to. The pain never goes away but i think we learn to cope with it in our own way. Pauline sounds very special lady. Lost my mel 15 weeks ago. Although i miss him terribly and have days where i cannott cope, i am learning to accept that he isnt coming back. I love him so much. Forever in my heart. X
