My partner of 9 years died 7 years ago,I was pregnant with our daughter at that time. Most of it I blocked out,I believe that the pregnancy hormones protected me from the meltdown. The first 2 years were a blur, I had intensive therapy after that for 6 months which really helped me to process what has happened. It was incredibly hard and I felt I was robbed of the future I have always wanted.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel,time really helps. You will never get over it but will learn how to live after death.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Have you looked at charities that can support you?

Widowed and Young specialise in people who lose their partner at a young age, so may be able to help you with the specific challenges of raising a baby alone after a bereavement. Although they say “widows” they support people who have lost non-married partners as well. I have no experience of them but it might be worth taking a look?

I’m so sorry, that’s tough beyond words.

Please prioritise your health, including emotional. Seek counselling and don’t be afraid to lean on whoever you need to or take advantage of any support services available.

Just an internet random but you are in my thoughts.

The baby father want away to work aboard but never come home. I speak him the day before he died saying he was take care of me and baby. I miss him so much I wish he was he with me and his son. His son missing out having a dad around. How do you tell your son when he older about he dad. I cry when I see dad with there kids playing. I have support from my family and help with services but it not a quick fix.
