Hi Helen, so sorry, I lost Shirl in March, actually I didn't loose her she died of a cardiac arrest in my arms. I'd like to tell you it gets better but at nearly 6 months I'm still struggling. All I can say is take it hour by hour, just do what you want and what feels right for you. Shirl and I were together for 36 years since I was 16, and the person I was died that day with her. I just hope one day a new me will come out of this alive x

Hi Jackie thank you so much for the reply and it answered a lot of questions that I had I haven't had a panic attack yet not that I know of but the fear of being alone I do feel and loneliness I know it's only been about a month since she's passed away and it's still very fresh for me there are some days I cry and then there's some other days I don't cry some some days are worse than others but I managed to just keep on going I have to that's what you would want me to do thank you for the hugs and I send you hugs in return. Helen
