Three weeks ago my ex partner and mother of our daughter 17 and son 21 died from lung cancer. For nearly three years she fought so hard to find a healing way through. But this terrible disease took our children’s mother away from us.
As their father I feel heartbroken for the years I have know their mother and for the horrific suffering she endured. It has left me feeling empty inside and deeply sad for our two beautiful children. I don’t understand any of this. I look into the eyes of our children and though they are strong I can see the loss they feel. I love my two so much and tell them every day but Dont want to smother them.
I wish I could take their pain away as they were so close to their Mum. But she’s gone, just like that.
My daughter turns 18 in a few weeks and she won’t have her mother with her to celebrate this mile stone. I know this is all part of life, life and death. But it seems so cruel.
I don’t know how to approach this pain . The pain I feel and the pain I see in my children’s eyes. They both loved their Mother so much that I don’t know if I can fill this gap we are left with.
Any advice would be most welcome. Bless you all.

Hi Jim C
I'm very sorry for your loss and for the pain that you are all going through.
I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you post this message in the bereaved spouses and partners group, which I can see you've joined, as you'll then connect directly with others who will understand what you're going through.

Hi There
i thought I posted on the emotional support section, sorry.
You have posted in the emotional support group but I thought you were more likely to connect with others in a similar situation if you posted in the bereaved spouse and partner group. However, you don't need to if you don't want to.
