Four weeks in to loosing my partner to suicide. So many unanswered questions, so much guilt. Walking around like a zombie and still can’t accept that this is real.

Hello
So sorry to hear this. Losing your partner must be shocking. To take your own life is so sad for those left behind …trying to make sense of things that you cannot make sense of.
Do you have any support ?
I hope you have someone to reach out to xxx
Sending kind thoughts and hugs your way

Oh goodness me, my heart goes out to you, sending much love x
My deepest sympathy, losing my partner was devastating but I don’t know how I would have coped if he had taken his own life. Please, please, please do not blame yourself. For whatever his reasons they were his problems and you can in no way take the responsibility for his decision. It’s so sad for the people left behind, I have friends who have lost family members to suicide and the overriding question they have all asked is was there something that I could have done differently, was there anything I should’ve been aware of and the answer to that is always no. I firmly believe that if someone is going through the sort of turmoil that leads them to take their own life they are very good at keeping their thoughts to themselves and as with most things in life if someone is determined to do something it’s very hard to stop them.
Stay strong x

Oh yep 12 weeks yesterday here, so much harder than normal death. Friends just don’t seem to think about that it’s just sad for them that he’s died. I wish I wish it was a sudden heart attack or an accident or cancer or anything other than suicide
It’s such a sad and tragic time for you, I’m not sure there are any words to help sooth your grief.
A lot of us feel helpless after the death of our loved ones, please give yourself kindness, and try to get some peace xx
So sorry for your loss, in my case it was my son in August, this is a different type of bereavement that most others do not understand, there is a whole element of why, what ifs and I should have done, I’m still barely functioning. I find the SOBs boards very handy as everyone is in the same place, they also have support groups and a phone line you can call.
