I lost my soulmate 8 weeks ago suddenly we had been together for 24 years but was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 19 years ago and slowly the man I loved faded away. I found him dead in bed which was a dreadful shock as he had just come home from a long stay in hospital and they said he was fine but he was worse than before he went in. Broke my heart to see him like that but for him to die at 67 was tragic I feel they I was robbed of many happy years x

I am so sorry, @Mariaelizabeth - what a terrible shock. To be with someone in a loving partnership for 24 years and then to lose him in such an awfully sudden way, is really hard. My husband died when he was 72, so older than your partner, but I feel the same - we had so many plans, all gone now. He would want me to move forward, to put those plans into action, with new ideas, too. I am going to try to do that - it isn’t easy. You are in the very early stages of grief, so give yourself time and be gentle on yourself. It does get easier in time - at least, I have found that it does and I am sending loads of love to you x

Maria Elizabeth I too lost my soulmate on 2nd December and we had been together 23 years she and I were inseparable . I had booked us on a cruise to Norway for June literally 2weeks before she was taken ill in November xx my world fell apart when the doctors told me she wouldn’t see Christmas .
She told me that I must go on this cruise and take my daughter and the grandchildren before she passed. I will but it will not be the same. It is now nearly 2 and half months since she passed and I still come home from work and still talk to her as if she is there . But the number of times I have broken down at work as not really gotten any less. I also feel we have been robbed of further adventures together but I take her photo with me everywhere and take it out and show her the scenery. I know that sounds strange but it is helping me to cope but I am also trying to get to see a counsellor.
Sending you lots of love

Sorry for not replying sooner but I missed your post.
So sorry you have had this awful loss thrust upon you.
I had the sudden loss of my darling 60 year old husband to endure last April. He went out to play his regular Monday night football and never came home.
The shock of a sudden loss is unbelievable and I’m sure that finding your husband dead in this way must have seemed sudden despite his deterioration.
I how you will find some comfort from the wonderful people on this forum.
Hugs
