I lost my partner last month and it really hurts like hell. She was my every thing my lover, my partner, my best friend she was my life. I now feel so empty and alone. I loved her so much. Its so hard. But I don't want to feel selfish, I know she is at peace now and I know she is waiting for me. I find myself talking to her all the time. I love her so much. this was our last Christmas 2023
Hi Daichris.
Yes I get you you do feel empty and alone I have my husband's first anniversary of passing in 3 week time roughly (June 23rd) We were together for 40 years and it is hard very hard to try to navigate life on your own when you have had someone by your side all those years. He fought his bowel cancer for almost two years going into remission at one point but only for the beast that is cancer to return only months later and deciding it wasn't leaving without him a second time. The year has gone so quick but just feels as though time has stood still for me. So much happens you want to share with them but they're not here for you to do so. This is a good place to come to when you feel the need as everyone will get how you are feeling. Best Wishes to you moving forward- if you can! Take Care.
Vicky.
Thank you Vicky I'm so sorry about your loss, and yes you are so right it is so hard. My Christine was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago and she fought it off and after treatment and a operation she was given the all clear then one day she noticed a little lump on the scar on her breast, she went in for scans and they found cancer in her breast, liver, and spine, it had come back with a mighty vengeance. She tried battling it for another three years, before she couldn't fight anymore. It was the worse time of my life watching her slip away in that hospital bed. They say it eases in time, but I really can't see that happening. But it is nice I can talk to people on here that knows what I'm feeling and going through. You take care of yourself and my thoughts are with you. Dai xx
