Hi,

I've been with my partner 6 years and we live together. On Wednesday his mum passed away and he is just numb. She was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of February and ever since, my partner has been grieving.

Now the time has come and she is no longer with us, I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do, it doesn't feel like it's happening.

I'm so sad for how wonderful she was to me, I'm sad for my partner and I'm sad for his family.

What do I say to him to support him?

What do I do to support him?

I don’t have any advice as I am also struggling to support my grieving boyfriends who’s mother is dying of cancer.

sending love to you, I’m sorry this is happening. Your partner is experiencing immense grief and pain - and it does take a toll on the partner supporting.

i hope he’s been feeling better..
