Diane...
...i shant say welcome to a bereavement forum that no one was expecting to join...I too have only recently joined after losing my partner Richard ( 74, i am 68 ) seven months ago 11th April...We had met in later life and had been together for these past 20 years...I will never get over his sudden loss...My life now has become so void and empty, no sounds, no movements just emptiness, where once their was activity from Richard and our three dogs, our fur-babies, they too have now departed to the rainbowsbridge...And no, time is not a great healer, infact for me, the longer it goes on the reality of it setting in that my Richard is never ever coming back to me...I will never see his face, i will never hear his voice again...
