My boyfriend died suddenly just three days ago.
I heard from him earlier that day, but didn’t meet him as I wasn’t well.
Two days later I had a phone call from a relative of his informing me he had passed away.
We were going to move in together now all my future has changed almost overnight.
I just feel so alone in all this and I cannot stop crying.
Everything around me reminds me of him and finding it hard to cope with it.

@Leah3 I’m so sorry that you’re going through this nightmare, too, it must have been totally crushing to learn about it 2 days later. I found out about mine 5 hours after he died, and only after I had contacted the local hospital by instinct.
You will be thinking of those hours and days when you were unaware and kept on doing your usual things in your life, while he was no longer here.
Please try to take care of yourself and do whatever you feel you should. Treat yourself very gently, this is a really big deal.
We are all here for you.
