Title: I lost my partner of 12 years so suddenly on 7th May. I'm heartbroken
Post by: Geri1961 on June 08, 2017, 05:42:18 PM
I lost my beautiful partner on 7th May. I am so heartbroken. he was my world, my life. He passed away so suddenly during the night. I found him on the floor and tried desperately to save him, but it was too late. I feel so alone and can't even leave my bed. We were inseparable. We ran a business together, lived and socialised together. I know nothing out side my life with Steve. Please tell me it will get better. X

Thank you for your reply. Its comforting to know people understand what I'm going through. I feel so incredibly lonely. I do have support from my daughters. One of them have stayed the night with me since my Steve passed away. I just can't process what has happened, he was so fit and not unwell at all. We had just returned from a break in Spain. We were planning to semi retire out there this year. I'm so heartbroken. My life as just stopped. I can't function at all. Life is so cruel.
