Death of a partner

So very sorry for your loss. My DH has recently been diagnosed with cancer and some of the feelings you describe are what I am terrified of having to face in the future. I can only send best wishes as you begin this new and unwelcome journey without the man you love.

I wish I could sit and hold your hand and tell you, I am so sorry for your sad lose, there is nothing I can say that will ease your pain but please believe I shall be thinking of you

So sorry Grunt and what a shock for you that night. Hold fast to the happy memories of the past 33 years.

Bellasnana [flowers|] hang on in there and when you need a shoulder or a listening ear remember we are here!

Granny grunt, I am so sorry you have had this huge loss. My DH died 6 months ago and I am still struggling massively.It seems impossible at first to go on. I have found that the only thing to do is to take one day or part of a day at a time.I have pm'd you.

How very sad for you Grannygrunt

I hope these words from 'Winnie the Pooh' are of some comfort to you.

If ever there is a tomorrow when we are not together.
There is something you must always remember
You are braver than you believe
Stronger than you seem
And smarter than you think.
Even if we are apart, I will always be with you.

A. A. Milne.

Grannygrunt I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Your family must be a great comfort for you, having lost your soulmate. Let them look after you for a while. Take care x

I'm so sorry Grannygrunt

So sorry to read your sad news Grannygrunt.

I'm sorry to hear your news too Grannygrunt

Grannygrunt so sorry to hear your news please keep posting.

Grannygrunt, there is little we can say which will make you feel better, but please remember we're here for you at any time (during the night sometimes, too). You've been very brave to post as you have done. I hope it's helped you a bit. x

So many kind and supportive posts for you Grannygrunt. I hope they ease the pain a little. What other words can be said? Perhaps just the Irish phrase offered to the bereaved - "I'm sorry for your loss". We all are.

So sorry for your loss Grannygrunt and what an awful shock for you as it happened at home. But as Soutra says it was better for your DH to die in his sleep at home and with you.We will all have to face the loss of our DH's at some point [or die ourselves] and it always seemed a long way off, but now we are getting older and it has to be faced.Glad that you have your children and friends around to be there for you.Try and post something on here every day, as there are lots of G'netters who have gone through this already and will support you.

So sorry to read your post grannygrunt. Sadly there is nothing I can say at this time which would be of help. Along with others I offer love, my thoughts and a hand of friendshp. Please keep talking to us

So sorry about your husband's death, Grannygrunt. Such a shock.
Your married life must be full of happy memories - God bless.

Condolences from me. I've been through it and you will survive. It's not easy at first but things do get easier.

I can only join with what everyone else has said Grannygrunt, with tears in my eyes for you. Happy memories will, I hope comfort you on occasions.

Grannygrunt, my sympathy. I've lost both my husband and daughter in the last three years, and Galen is right - you do survive, and although life won't ever be the same it does get easier. There's little you can do other than lean on people if you need to, allow yourself to grieve, and take each day as it comes. Bereavement counselling might help at some point.

You have my sympathies and understanding too, Grannygrunt. My husband died a few years ago, he just managed to reach his 60th birthday. I'm sure your family will support you and you will get used to it as time goes on.

So sorry grannygrunt

So sorry
