Hi I lost my soul mate this morning to an infection that set in during his first round of chemotherapy for stage 4 lymphoma. Heart broken doesn’t come near how I feel. He was only 54 and we had been each others best friend for 30 years.I have 2 beautiful children 20 and 18 who don’t deserve to loss their dad and no amount of loving support from my close friends is helping this unbearable ache. How do I move forward?

I am so sorry to read that you lost your soul mate this morning.
I can see that you've already found and posted in the bereaved spouses and partners group and I'm sure you'll get support from the other members of that group.
