Jen, your words are exactly as I feel, it was a year on the 19th October since I lost my partner of 12 yrs. Like you I prayed for every miracle going, that he would somehow survive the treatment, the nasty disease etc, but instead I watched him ebb away. He was my soulmate, my life.Time hasn’t got easier yet but you learn to cope.Even though I have family, it’s lonely without him but you have to go on so that’s what I’m trying to do. I hope it gets easier for you too xx

Hi @Ladyjan I am sorry that you lost your dear partner, it’s truly something that once witnessed you never forget. I initially thought that I was the only one to go through this anguish but I have learned there are so many of us going through the same thing and we are here for each other.
I wish you well as you continue your journey

Dear Davina, I am so sorry that you lost Robin in such tragic circumstances and I can understand your anger. I too felt let down by so many and it is truly heartbreaking.
Please continue to look after you as you continue your life without the love that you lost

Thank you for your insight into this awful thing called bereavement.
I lost my husband in April his death was sudden and unexpected but the loss of a soul mate is the same.
I think I have to carry on making memories for both of us.
I am grateful for our 42 years of marriage and all that we shared. I not only grieve for the loss of him but all that we had not done yet our dreams. The life that we shared.
It is difficult but I have to make the memories for both of us.
Thank you for your post

Dear @JaneD @jojolee @Davaire looks like we are all together in this. Sending you all best wishes in all that you do whilst we wait to be reunited with our soulmates. If only we all lived closer it would be such an immense support network.

Hi @JaneD. I think the best way to connect is by private message to those you feel a connection with and see if there are ways to keep in touch or meet up.
