I lost my dp just over 4 years ago with a brain aneurysm, i was 5 months pregnant at the time with our ds and only 31 years old, my dp was only 39. I have a daughter from a previous relationship who was 5 at the time and sadly suffered alot. She is now 9 and has obviously moved on but she fears death and has had the innocence of her childhood sadly taken away from her. I encourage people going through bereavement to talk to as many people about how you are feeling as possible. I found CRUSE fantastic and obviously my family and friends were brilliant. I feel very patronising posting this message but i have moved on with my life slowly and surely and have two beautiful children and a wonderful new husband, i just wanted to share hope with those who feel that grieving never ends and life stops. I still feel sad that my ds will never know his father but i feel fortunate that my dh has taken him on as his own and has given him that chance of a father/son relationship. If anyone is going through pain of bereavement particuarly widowhood i would be happy to listen.x
