I’m really struggling with life after losing my beautiful daughter on 5th July 2024, she was my world, I was her mummy/carer for her 17 beautiful years. I’m so lost without her and my world is falling apart. My son is the one thing keeps me going. My partner left me twice after my daughter died, now he wants a chance to make things right again but mentally I’m not in the right place and can’t cope with him being around all the time as I need my space to be able to grieve my daughter. He doesn’t understand this and expects our relationship to return to where it was and I’m not ready for that as so much trauma has happened. I’ve tried to explain the damage he caused and also I will never be that person I once was and it will need time but slowly to make things work. Has anyone experienced this after losing their child. I’ve went from having my daughter with me 24/7 to silence in the home which I’m struggling to come to terms with as my daughter always had the TV on or her music and lights on in her sensory room, making her wee noises to communicate with me and loved having her cuddles. I struggle to be close to anyone now.

I am so sorry to hear of your pain on the loss of your beautiful daughter and send you massive hugs. Hopefully somebody else on this forum will be able to comment on the relationship issue with your partner. I do think that bereavement can cause problems in that area, especially if you and your partner are grieving in different ways.
Im so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. My son died suddenly on 21st July aged 31. This path of grief is unimaginable and makes no sense. Please dont think that you are alone, reach out and keep talking. Talk to me.
We have made it to 2025. My daughter gives me strength to carry on and i owe it to James to live and remember.
I know your pain but you are not alone xx
