Hi Karen,

The biggest thing i can share is that death SUCKS.

I had a friend who gave me a thought process....this is like the worst homesickness you can have.  When you are a kid and away from home, being homesick is easily resolved....you know you are going to go home.  But this home you have built....a life, a place in the world, everything you know, its gone....and this is the kind of homesickness that there is no cure for.  When she said that, it rang so true.  I am homesick for Nikki....and i can never go back to that home.

I am so sorry for the loss of your partner....14 years is a major milestone....and pancreatic cancer must have been hell.  Feel free to connect here as you need to.  I am always around to listen.

Hey Karen I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Kim. In those first few days and weeks the pain is just raw. If you ever need to talk just email me ok. I had also been with my partner 14 years and I am 8 months into the grief process. I have moved back to Scotland as being in the USA without her was unbearable for me also having no rights as a couple made everything just that much more worse. I had also just lost my dad so coming home here just seemed thr right time.
I am here if you just need to talk ok.
Hugs to you. Julieann
