Loss and Grieving


losing a partner

I recently lost my partner of 17 years. My partner was my best friend my family. My world reveloved around him. I do not know how to cope with this loss, it is the worst thing that has happened to me in my life. I do not know how to pick up the pieces. I use to pray often but since god has taken him i have a hard time praying. A big part of me is gone, a part i know i will never get back. A big part of me wants to join him as soon as possible. How can i cope. I think of him constantly i can not enjoy a moment and if i happen to smile i feel gulity. I am truly lost. What can i do when i feel empty inside and i feel no one understands. Am i going crazy?

I cannot begin to understand the grief you are feeling; but I do know that you are not going crazy.

The loss of your closest companion, someone whom you could confide in and who confided in you, someone you trusted without reservation; the person that you would talk to and who would comfort you when you were in pain like you are now is very difficult.

There are many support groups that you can turn to if you need someone/somewhere to just talk about how you are feeling; and there are many people who are praying for you - and want you to know that while everyone's path is unique, we can all help each other along the way.

My sincere condolences for your loss.
