I  lost my partner of 11years on 29th July. I had never known what true love was until I met Maureen, I was in a dark place when she found me and saved my life. Those dark thoughts are now back and I can’t see any way forward.  She fought cancer since 2013 first breast cancer then lung cancer and finally bowel that went to her liver, never have I known a more brave, courageous uncomplaining person.  She fought all the time because we were so happy together   The loss is unbearable I spent all day in tears every thing I look at or touch has memories I feel like I’m going mad.  To be honest I don’t really want to even try to carry on without her I just want to be with her again.  The loneliness is  awful .  I just want to touch her, hear her voice and kiss her. The last days of our time together are not the memories I want as they are like a form of punishment etched on my mind.  Was I  patient enough was I caring enough did I do everything I could right to the end   I have so many doubts and dark thoughts.  The pain is like nothing I have ever known.   

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    I'm so very sorry to read that you've recently lost your partner to cancer.

    I can see that you've joined and posted in the bereaved spouses and partner's group and I'm sure you'll find the people there will be able to offer you plenty of support.
