My relationship was fine with my partners kids before he died. Now it is a bit strained  he gave me permission to remain in half of the house , his share which means they need my permission to sell, which I'd give.    As long as I have somewhere else to move into.  Apart from this , I let them organise funeral and now I feel I'm being kept in the dark about the details.  The celebrant doesn't know me or  has even spoken to me, and I have a lot of his work colleagues going , so I feel I need to be visible as a partner.   It is all very hurtful, we were fine before he died.    I have found this pain almost as hard as the grief . I'd like to talk to someone who understands how much we loved each other , we were the love of each others lives , our friends and villagers  recognised this but it seems some family think even so,  I don't deserve the support as much as his grown up kids.  I understand this as they lost their mum a few years ago.  But now they are putting them together and forgetting my imput to help get  their father over this period of their lives and how happy we were. Am.i just having to get on with it.. but would still  like to talk to someone in similar position.   

  • Wow that is awful for you on top of what you are going through. Added stresses just not needed you need all the support you can get it sounds. 
    I don’t have kids, my husband had kids all older and live away and we had a direct cremation as was my husband’s wishes (and mine) couldn’t bare the thought of going through what your going through right now. 

    I really hope you can find a way through this.

    Good luck
