So sorry mate lost my 48 year old soulmate die over a 5 year period due to medical negligence just Google Charlotte Kerns cancer nothing to worry about. It was in sun mirror men etc. Court case still ongoing 7 years after she instigated it. Just felt so lonely without any companionship I went on a couple of dating sites. Now cancelled because no one can compare and although she wanted me to find someone else still feels like betrayal. And could I have a relationship like that again? No. Could handle companionship because itâs one thing watching footie with your mates. Itâs another watching a film or going for lunch etc. Am 56. Not 86. Hopefully got a lot of life to give but will never be the same. Wake up every morning wondering where she is till the reality dawnâs. Good luck mate.x

Iâm sorry for your loss too. It is extremely tuff. I just donât know where to start. How to move foward.
Davidroy,
Tuff doesnât begin to express the loss.
@Alir so sorry, I had a really bad day yesterday and this morning when I just felt like I couldnât bear the pain and grief. Rest of the day has been better but the tears are never far away. Sending you best wishes
Hi Davidroy. I am very sorry to hear about your wife. You have certainly had a long battle against her cancer. Now you have your grief to get through. I can only say you arenât alone. I lost my wife in 2020 after 20 years of battling with Parkinsonâs Disease. Since she died I have lived alone. Itâs a hell of a struggle and there is no easy answer to grief except to go through it. I allow myself to cry when I need to -even in front of others. I find weeping helps to release the sadness for a while. I try, too, to keep going forward when I can - with regular exercise, talking to friends and family when I can, reading, painting (I have drawn and painted her portrait many times. The more I practise the better I get), no anti-depressents, a little alcohol when with others, practicing mindfulness (it helps to keep thoughts under control so I can sleep), attending church and church events, researching ânear death experiencesâ on the internet (This gives me hope that death may not be the end, afterall. Call me mad if you like! ), learning to cook and having friends and family around for meals, taking one day at a time but keeping going forward. And learning the following prayer, by M.K.W. Heicher, off by heart:
Disturb me Lord when I am too well pleased with myself,
When my dreams have come true because I have dreamed too little,
When I have arrived safely because I have sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb me Lord when, with the abundance of things I possess,
I have lost my thirst for the waters of life,
When, having fallen in love with life, I have ceased to dream of eternity,
When, in my efforts to build a new earth I have allowed my vision of a new heaven to fade.
Disturb me Lord to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas where storms will show your mastery
Where having lost sight of land I shall find the stars.
I ask you to push back the horizons of my hopes
And to push into into the future with strength, courage, hope and love.
Amen.
Jonty
Itâs OK. Iâm starting to to learn itâs OK to have bad days. My husband passed February 25th and I cry every day. Mostly at night but today I had a biopsy of done and I miss having him with me. We supported each other for 54 years. We grew up together. Iâm just so lonely without him.
