Grief - 5 years on and still struggling with loss of partner

I lost my partner of 32 years  2.020 days ago approx 5 half year ago and I foned hospice for Bereavment council as still not coping feels like yesterday we met at 14 and stayed together I cry every night and if music pops on radio that reminds me of a occasion sometimes it’s like a sentence having to go day after day week after week alone have 2 boys grown up see them a lot but just feel so lonely without her

  • Hi Stu

    You have my deepest sympathy and I know what you're going through. My lovely wife passed away in June 2018 and I'm on the same path as you. You're right about the music because it takes you back to all the lovely times you had. Try and get some counselling if you can, I did find it helpful and accept any help you can find.

    Please remember that grief is not forever. But love is.

    Tears are the silent language of grief. I know how tough it is and please stay strong. Chris
