I lost my partner in January of 2024 and have been dealing with grief since. It was quite a complicated relationship which I've been told has caused me to have complicated grief, which I thought I was dealing with up until maybe a month or 2 ago.
I just feel like there is an empty space in me , and I don't understand how people say it gets better with time , because the more time that passes , it's more time since I last seen her.
The sudden stop of caring for her , appointments and treatments etc feels like it out my body into shock. I never got to say goodbye either and it haunts me everyday.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation? Hope everyone is doing okay.
Thanks for reading
