My partner/best Friend just died, Anyone in the same situación?
-
Heart attack, I miss him very much
-
My condolences.
I came out in 1979, I stopped counting after 50 funerals. -
MY thoughts and prayers are with you. My Boss lost his partner of 35 years recently. It's awful. I am so sorry for your loss.
-

-
Yes.
-
Hope things are better bud. It takes time.

I'm so sorry. I'm not even married yet, so I don't know how it feels to lose your significant other, but my best friend (female) died about two years ago. That was quite shocking (she was 19 at that time, car accident).
There may or there may not be a reason for each death… but we should appreciate all of the good memories we have of our beloved ones as their legacy.
P.S.:Something really nice is when you get to dream of them
in fact, I dreamed of my best friend last night. There's something magical about dreaming with those who are no longer among us, but that still have a place in our hearts. -
My spouse of 39 years passed away June 3rd, after a wild 6 months of 911 calls, ambulance trips, multiple hospital stays, and finally a skilled nursing facility. He was on the liver transplant list at UCLA for 9 years. Got called 4 times and for various reasons it didn't happen. After ending up in the hospital myself for a week, I realized everything they were doing wasn't helping and brought him home on hospice care. I had him for two days and quietly let him go that Sunday evening. Even though I lost my soulmate that evening it was good. I got to tell him everything I needed. I told him not to worry about me and the dogs, that we would take care of each other. He couldn't talk anymore but opened his eyes using facial expressions and squeezing my hand while I talked to him. Then he seemed to get quiet and slowly drifted off.

To those that have lost their loved one, you have my deepest sympathies. For those that lost them recently…..
My partner of 24 years died suddenly in 2004. We were on vacation in Key West, and it ended with me performing CPR while trying to resuscitate him. It was traumatic and horrible and I had flashbacks for quite a while. The man was my soulmate. You know those couples who have been together so long that they finish each other's sentences? Well, we used to start each other's sentences. We were devoted to each other, and for each of us, there was nobody else we'd rather be with at any given time. It's been 14 years now (I can't believe I'm saying it), and I still miss him terribly. I find I don't think of him too much because it's too painful to dwell long. I mean, literally painful.
But for those who lost their loved one recently, it does get better. It may get worse before it gets better, but it does get better. You learn how to become an individual again and how to laugh and smile and have a good time. And you can learn to love again. Until then, be good to yourself. Your partner isn't there to be good to you, so take care of yourself for him. If there's something you want to do, do it. If there's something you think would make you smile or happy, do it. Baby yourself, give yourself time, and have faith that you'll come through it in more or less one piece. You'll be different, for sure. I miss the old me. But I like some things about the new me too. So have faith and hope and know that you'll one day find yourself happy again.
