Hi, Im new here and have no one to share my story with. My story in a nutshell: I met Bob in 1986. Although he was married, we were very much in love.  Life's circumstances changed and in a flash he was gone (alive, just moved).  I found him 25 years later and we found our love was still there. We met up and the feelings were undeniable.  Except he was in a new long term relationship with children. We stayed in touch via phone and texts, last talking this past October.  I texted him a couple of days ago but he didn't respond (not like him).  So, I called but got a recording that the number was no longer in service.  I found that odd.  I googled his name as I couldn't remember the name of the place he worked.  What popped up horrified me.  An obituary.  Couldn't be, I thought.  I just talked to him and he was fine.  But as I read on, the location was right, the birthday was right.  I started crying out "no, no, no, no" but as I read on, the place he worked was right as were the names of the family he was survived by.  I continued crying out "no, no, no" and tried calling again, only to get the same message.  He had died of Covid four weeks after we last spoke.  His last words to me were, "I still miss you."  Since our relationship was not a public one, not many people in my life today were aware of him.  So, I'm left here grieving all alone.  I so want to scream out to the world, "He loved me best!" but I can't.  I can't hurt his family.  Silent grief...and my heart is broken.   Thanks for listening.
