Ermmmmm how to even start? I’m 27, I lost my boyfriend at 41 years old to neuroendocrine cancer. We were together nearly 4 years. Yes, an age gap relationship full of nothing but LOVE! He was my best friend, my biggest fan, my lover and my soul mate all wrapped into one very special human being.
He was fit, healthy and without any illnesses until September 2025 when he started to experience symptoms, 6 months later he passed away in hospice and although it isn’t his fault.. I’m absolutely fuming at him, livid that he’s left me after promising me when we first met that he was here for the long run.
It’s been 3 months since he died, I am functional and doing ‘normal’ things but my body is incredibly heavy with grief so my days are slow. I miss him so much, we had planned for marriage, babies and a house and I’m devastated that that is no longer going to happen.
At 27 years old I’ve lost my love and the trajectory of my life has completely changed. I almost feel as if I’m back to square one.
But one thing I know is that he would want me to continue smiling and not to dwell on his death. After all, he taught me that there is no option but to carry on!
