Have you got good family and friends supporting you at the moment? I was so sorry to hear about your partner.

If you find Delgirls post below, she is lovely and maybe able to support and comfort you.

Is there anything any of us can do? Whereabouts are you?

how very sad .. I am so sorry for your loss .. I hope you have good support around you and are able to grieve ..

JonesTheSteam · 28/07/2006 07:42

So sorry to hear your sad news

Twiglett · 28/07/2006 07:42

the grieving process is difficult and quite primal .. I don't know if it would help you to know what emotions you may experience but you need to know that whatever you feel and whenever your feel it is normal and necessary to allow you to cope with your great loss .. but I know it helped me so I am posting them anyway in the hope that it helps

.. you may pass through different stages .. there is a well documented 'stages of grief' .. denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance (you can go through any of them at any time and go back to any of them .. they are not sequential .. so for example I found myself going from denial to depression to denial and anger to acceptance and then back to bargaining etc)

I wish you strength and whatever support you need to grieve for your partner

I am so very sorry

So sorry to read this.

Look after yourself and your LOs.

You may (when dust settles) find it helpful to get in touch with one of the organisations that suports the bereaved -Cruse etc. When my mum died (also colon cancer, aged 49) my little sister got a lot of help from a local charity specialising in bereavement care for children. There is help out there if you want it.

take care
