The more I read on this site, the more I see the depth of love we have all shared with our lost ones. I thought mine and Andy’s relationship was unique, we were so happy together and so in love with each other, above anything else but now I see there is so much love from us all. We are all lucky enough to have been loved in such wondrous ways and the grief we all share is the result of that love. I feel privileged to have been loved by such a great man, and humbled that he chose me. I will love my Andy for eternity, he made me the person I am, and he would hate to see you falter and fade so I am making a conscious decision to live for both of us, whatever that may entail xx

You are so right. To be loved by a wonderful person is a privilege.
I have lost two husbands, I adored them both and know they loved me. When my second husband died I said to my son that I must be doubly cursed. He told me that I was wrong, because I was doubly lucky to have been loved by two good men.
As miserable as I am, I can’t argue with that.

Reading all about the lovely partners everyone here has lost, I think we were all lucky.
Trouble is, the lovelier they were, the greater the pain of losing them.

I was 18 when I lost my Dad. It was very tough. Someone once asked me if I felt cheated and I replied No, I was lucky to have a fantastic father who saw me into adulthood before he left, whereas a lot of people have crap dads for decades.
This time I can’t see it like that. Yes, I was lucky that we found each other and were inseparable and totally in love while he was here. But we met too late. He was already very ill although he hid it well, and we were never going to make those plans for our future.
