I imagine that being alone when illness strikes is one of the worst features of it &, fortunately, a bridge I've yet to cross as I have very good health.
You'll find the strength to cope somehow.
I really agree with this, I don't know how we do it but we are all stronger than even we know ourselves.
Not my husband (thank God) but my Sister who passed, you could say she was a life partner, she was my partner in crime and my best friend and confidante. I struggle tremendously with the grief of her loss. It's been 5 years now and the yearning in the pit of my stomach and the urge to reach out just for one touch just has not gone away and I know it never will. Yet, life goes on and somehow I get through each day which tells me how strong a person I am............it's the same for you too.
The tidal waves of grief come like nothing we've ever known then the calm comes again and so it goes on.........
Try not to feel so alone, there are so many of us going through the same.
Reach out and don't be afraid to talk about them, that's how I deal with it to some degree. She is never far from my mind and never will be, because she was so precious to me.
My heart does go out to each of you.
It's good talk.
Perhaps a thread to talk about our lost loved ones to share our thoughts and memories might be an idea? I dunno, just a thought.
