Hi all,

I can’t believe I’m writing this just three weeks after I joined this forum and was full of positivity. I took screenshots and shared them with my partner and we were hopeful for a better quality of life for him.

I lost my love yesterday and I’m broken. All I can say is hold your loved ones close and cherish every single second. I wasn’t in the house with him at the time and the unbelievable pain I’m in ….I can’t describe. I hope he knows he was loved and didn’t suffer in pain.

I may not be able to reply or add more information yet as I’m struggling to process it all…but a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to reply to my last post. Enjoy the time with your loved ones and tell them all you love them just one extra time for me.

Thank you all so much for your kind words of support. I love my partner immensely and I know he knows that. What’s hard for me to accept is that his illness changed our lives and our relationship. We had so many tough times and so many arguments that I just wish I could turn back the time and change it all. We also had incredible moments of love and although it changed our relationship, it didn’t change our love. Just so many things left unsaid and so many things I wish I could change. I’m feeling immense guilt and sadness for all the things left unsaid and all the things I didn’t get to do and I pray that one day we are reunited so I can say it all. Sending love to everyone who is living through this illness with their loved ones. I know it’s so hard but I treasure the last two years we had since he became unwell, regardless of the tough times. Love to you all xxx

I'm sorry for your loss, a very difficult time for you.

I wasn't with my husband when he went and it haunts me everyday, he was in hospital so not alone but we couldn't be there.

Take each day as it comes and you will recover in time x

I feel for your loss, it has been a very difficult time for you since the first diagnosis. Now the worst has happened. Please take time for yourself to process everything from the last few weeks. I found writing the best way to release my anger, you must take care of yourself. It will take time, everyone grieves at a different pace. Thinking of you! Take care. Moni

You sound immensely conscientious and loving. Your partner was very fortunate to have you, and I'm sure he felt so. 'What else could I have done?' is a normal part of grieving. Take good care of yourself, Hearts.....

Dearest Hearts2021 - firstly, I am so, so sorry for your loss. You could have been describing the loss of my darling husband in June 2019. From the time he came home from hospital for the last time to the day he died totalled 13 precious days. I am grateful every single day for the fact that he was able to be at home with me, as that is the only place he wanted to be. I have felt guilt, too, raging anger and desperate sorrow, often all in the same day, and I still don't have the words to describe how I miss him. We, too, went through all the various ups and downs of what was a wonderful relationship and I, too, find myself wishing I'd done certain things differently, or said certain things, but I have absolutely no doubt at all that he knew that he was the love of my life, and that I would have done absolutely anything for him. I know, too, that if the tables had been turned, he would have done exactly the same for me, and your man, too, would have been the same. Thank goodness that you and I have experienced such love in our lives - the only thing is, it hurts so very much when they're gone. I hope you have as much love and support from your friends and family as I have been fortunate to have - in that respect, I am incredibly lucky. Please look after yourself, but also indulge yourself if you need to. XXXXXX
