Coping with loss of my partner

I lost my partner  to cancer at the beginning  of the month I am struggling  with his loss we have  a daughter who is 20 and I feel for her as she should not have lost her dad so young .Everyone says give it time but we were together  for 34 years and it's hard.

  • Unfortunately there's no easy way round grief ... no quick fix ... something most of us have been through ...  it's a part of losing people we have been blessed with in our life's.. 

    It's just getting through the day ... not looking ahead .. one baby step at a time .. like when we were babies and had to learn to walk on our own .. we just took the odd step , wobble and fall down .. then do it over and over till we took a few steps .. then one day we went from one side to another .. but like that, it's just knowing it's going to take a long time ...

    Hold on to that daughter of yours .. coz your hubby is half of her ... with your half too .. so no one can take that away .. you'll both part of her .. together always ..

    Go with feelings ... cry / yell and cuss... and get it all out .. then take another step ... it's all about balance..  not holding feelings in .. and not drowning in them... just know many on here have been where you are now ... your not alone ...  sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie  

  • Thank you  I know it's one step at a time we will get there I  suppose it will take as long as it takes it's  just  the emptiness that we feel . Today I also heard that a work colleague lost his partner to cancer when will ever end .
