Steve died in August 2022, we were together for 44 years. Have a very supportive family who have helped me so much and I have tried to make a new path and thought l was doing ‘okay’. But these last couple of weeks I have been so low and tearful, and especially the last few days I have felt so bereft and missing Steve so so much. How I long for his touch and to hear his voice. I feel I am awash with grief and it is such an effort to motivate myself. I feel I am letting Steve down by not making the most of every day as he was always so positive through everything. He was truly my other half.
I am so sorry for your loss and the fact the pain never leaves you. My partner of nearly 18 years passed away Christmas Day. I cry every day. Anything sets me off. My insides hurt. My heart truly feels broken. I had a massive meltdown earlier in pain. I feel I don't want to stop it though as don't want to ever forget him or stop the feelings of love I have for him. Life is so unfair and you still feel the same way. Life will never be the same again. Hugs to you x
Hello
I totally understand. I have been the same the last few weeks too. The slightest thing sets me off. A kind word, a little visit from someone unexpectedly, music of course and the list goes on. Exhausted. We just have to get on with it. No choice really.
Big hugs xxxx
