I was widowed when I was 26. True gentleman and I still miss him so much. But some days it's just still so hard and I nearly wish I'd never met him because of the never ending grief. We were together for 7 years and I have to live the rest of my life wondering what should have been. It's impacted my life so much and changed me as a person greatly. Just feel so cheated. Anyone else been through something similar?

I'm so sorry. It's rubbish and good at the same time in the you had him in your life if you see what I mean?
I haven't been anything similar really and get what you are saying.
My dad died when I was 26 - 21 years ago. Before I got married and before I had children and it's strange how bereavement changes you. My experience is nothing like yours, it doesn't compare and I'm not quite sure what to say. Would it help to tell me/us some more?

Hi OP. I've not lost a (wonderful, from what you've told us) partner, that must be so difficult .

I have however lost my brother, when he was 28. The unfairness of it never goes away, and I can completely relate to what you say about how much it has changed you as a person. Everything has changed for me, not necessarily for the worst, I would add. Although I will always have this sadness.
