Hi, long time lurker but finally joined so I could post after finding this section.
My fiancé passed away three weeks ago. From covid. The funeral is this week and I just don't know how I'm going to get through it. I miss him. We weren't together that long but we just clicked. He was so patient and understanding and just a wonderful man. I'm so lonely without him and I don't feel like anyone understands.

I'm so sorry... Your relationship may have been short but he obviously loved you very much... Just take it an hour at a time, day by day....

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm really struggling to get my head around it. Still can't quite believe he's gone. 💔
He was wonderful. Just got me, was supportive and understanding. I've had a difficult history with men and was anxious about starting anything, but he was so laid back and made me feel loved. Like I was good enough as I am. He was fun and funny and thoughtful. So sweet. I miss his smile and the weird face he made when he was happy. Like when I told him I loved him for the first time. He just looked like someone had given him the best present ever. He knew how hard it was for me to trust anyone and he just made everything ok, by being him.

OP this must be so hard. I'm so very sorry. It sounds like you made the last few months of his life very happy. He sounds like a really special person. All best wishes to you.

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dear mum to covid 5 weeks ago and it's the most painful thing.

My life will never be the same again.

Losing someone this way feels so unfair. You see daily reminders of what took your loved one, with masks, social distancing and covid news.

Sending my condolences op. I'm so sorry. I am, unfortunately, experiencing the same grief and disbelief at the moment. The what-ifs are the worst. Torturous. I do hope you have support as I know how much it is meaning to me. X

Jellyfishsandwiches · 21/02/2021 18:09

Thank you all. The funeral was so hard, but I made it through. Being home alone is so lonely. I have friends around etc but I don't feel like anyone really understands and I don't like to be a burden.
I'm so sorry for anyone going through this, it's awful. X

Oh my love don't feel like a burden, your friends and family will want to help.
I'm so so sorry for your loss, he sounds like a wonderful man. Flowers

Ntwa · 21/02/2021 18:20

So sorry to hear this, look after yourself x

HeWasMyWorld · 22/02/2021 17:15

Yes, as the PP says - do not feel a burden. People like to help - it makes them feel good and useful. I have reached out and no one has failed me. You need to be selfish at this difficult time. I have decided not to have a funeral but to wait and have a memorial where all the people my dh touched can come together. You are probably in a more difficult position with his parents & other family members. Was it what you would have wanted?
