I lost my partner 3 weeks ago he died of a heart attack and he was only 34 years old.It happened when we were in the car with our kids who are 10 and 3. I went into automatic piolet at first looking after the kids and planning the funeral but this week has been hell and I miss him so much I cant bear it. I feel like u cant tell anyone how u really feel because they wont understand. Is this normal?
RE: Is this normal
Hi, Angela yes it is normal because no one can understand the pain & heartache you are going through!!I lost my dear husband Johnny to pancreatic cancer in March this year, he is never from my mind, i think breath sleep my dear Johnny, there was something he left me & it was so important! It was something he said,.. not a gift or anything! He said Sheila please when you cry & feel sad! always remember "there is always someone worse off than you" !! in my selfishness I replied "WHO" my dear Johnny replied " There are parents every day every minute being told their child is going to die! "they my dear are worse off than you losing your husband" I was taken aback & thought about what he said, I'm afraid he was right!! so everytime I feel sorry for myself & feel sad, I remember those words that my dear husband said whilst he was absolutely wrecked with pain, what a brave man he was, I'm sure you will agree? so please try to think of those few words when you feel down, it is bad enough losing your partner, be blessed it was not your child I do hope you can & feel a little better, It is quite normal to feel like you do, but remember your partner would want you to concentrate on your beautiful children, I'm so sorry for you, i wish i could take away your pain, I know what you are going through, keep strong!! much love Sheila xx

hi yes it is normal i lost my darling bill 21 weeks ago and it is still so raw. i never stop thinking of him. people cant start to imagine what we are going through you will come across so many emotions - sad, lonely, angry, guilty , confused and alot more. these are all normal take 1 day at a time the only advice i can give you is dont bottle any of your emotions up if you feel like screaming do so i often scream in the car going to work god knows what people must think cry when you need to. i used to feel guilty about going to buy a loaf of bread which to some people will sound silly. i try to remember that bill would not want me to be sad and would want me to carry on and enjoy life for the both of us. that keeps me going. i always talk to him telling him about my day and say goodbye when i leave the house. i dont think it will get any easier but i hope i can learn to cope with the pain a little bit better. try to be strong im sure your partner will be looking down and taking care of you and your children. thinking of you jayne xxx
