Re: Death of my partner

@SavemeI so sorry for your loss.  It's such a tragic loss.  I know it's easy to feel that guilt, you could never have expected this to happen.  I'm sure they were excited to be moving into their own house so try not to feel any guilt because there's no way you could have known.  I'm sure your partner wouldn't want you to blame yourself but remember what she meant to you and all the good times you shared together.

 

Maybe, if you feel like it, you could share a bit more about her and some of the things you loved about her.  You don't have to of course, but I thought it might help.

Re: Death of my partner

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss @Saveme. It's clear that your partner had such a profound and beautiful impact on you and those around her. 

 

I wish there was something I could say to reduce your feelings of grief, but I know that's not possible after losing someone so dear to you. What I will say is that we're here for you to support you during this time. 

 

I did also want to mention another support, Griefline who offer free one on one phone support for those processing grief.

 

Lastly, a quick note to let you know that moderators do need to remove any names mentioned in posts here on the forums, to ensure the safety and anonymity of our members you can read more about this in our guidelines.

 

Take care,
