I lost my father three months ago. I am heartbroken. We were very very close. It doesn't seem real yet I know I can't see him again. How do you cope with it all?
I lost my partner very suddenly within 5 days of diagnosis back in October 2021. Danielle was only 38 and the love of my live. I still have bad days nearly 6 months on but they are getting less. Keeping busy with exercise, work, going on walks, and talking to people has helped me get through so far but I suspect it will be a scar I wear for the remainder of my life.
All I can advise is take whatever time you need to grieve. Everyone copes in their own way and only you know what is right for you. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you find it's getting too much.
I actually have a Remembrance Day for Danielle tomorrow at the school she taught at and will be seeing the hospice nurses who cared for her in her final days for the first time since she passed.

I am so terribly sorry to hear about your partner and sending you love. Thanks for your advice - I think keeping busy is something I definitely need to do x x
