Lost my Girlfriend of 3 years to Stage 4 bowel cancer

On July 4th I lost the love of my life. I lost the one thing in this world that always brought a smile to my face, always knew what to say to make me feel better. And now shes gone. She was just 19. That just isnt fair. She always put others before herself and was the most caring person I have ever known. 

And now I dont know what to do with myself. When she was diagnosed last november, we started to plan things that she always wanted to do, like a trip to Japan (she was obbessed with Anime) which we did in April. We spent a lot of time together because i think deep down we both knew we didnt have long left. When she started going down hill a few months ago, i always made sure I was there after work to help her mum look after her. And when she passed away on July 4th 2018, I helped with the funeral planning. But now that thats all over, theres nothing. Nothing to do and nothing to say. Theres a massive hole in my life and at the moment it feels like that hole will never be filled. People keep telling me that she wouldnt want me to feel like this, and I know eventually ill move on, but no one can understand this feeling until they go through it themselves.

Im not sure if theres a point to this post, i think its just some thing i need to get off my chest, but if anyones going through something similar then feel free to reply to it,

RIP babe xxxx

  • Hi theres a saying everyone thinks they know how to deal with grief till they have to go through it themselves and all these things what people say to try and make you feel better!!dont!! We all deal with grief diffrently . Me because i looked after when she passed i felt redundant because we couldnt get married as liz would loose her pension overnight i just became a family friend even though i had kept liz going for the last five years there is a say that we dont want to hear to. is time is a great healer but its trues three months on on for me and i still feel sad and lonely but not as bad as i did .so be kind to yourself look after your health and grieve at your own pace not how someone who hasnt a clue tell you how to do just grit your teeth and say thankyou as they are just trying to make you feel better. .  Sorry you have lost the love of your life so have i .best wish paul
