What do I do now

I seem to have reached an impasse. I feel I cant go on. My partner was my life. I do feel guilty tho, I look around and see those who have bravely got on with their lives. I feel I can't, or even don't want to. Is this really bad/selfish?

I am so sorry about the struggle you face. The loss you have suffered.


Follow the link below. You will find that your feelings are normal. We all grieve differently, and the loss of our loved ones is the most traumatic experience in our lives.

I understand. It has been 3 years and 3 months for my loss of the rock in my life. My Mother.

For me I am considering trying a grief specialist because I have nobody in my life that fills the void.

This has been the worst time of my life. I am not sure how long this goes on I guess it is a personal journey.

All I know is that there will come a time it gets easier with time. Lots of time. I also know that after three years if you think you need help from someone other than the people you know it is time to seek it.

I have felt like that before.  It's okay to feel your feelings, they are yours.  Did your partner encourage and support you during your relationship?  What would they say or tell you if they were sitting right in front of you and you told them this very thing?  

This grieving process is so difficult and there are no easy answers.  My heart goes out to you; bless us all--

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
