Hi lisa1987,
It sounds like you're going through an incredibly difficult time. We're so sorry for your loss. We can imagine it would be hard to cope with this and we’re really glad you were able to reach out here. Please know that there’s no right or wrong way to feel in this situation, grief affects everyone differently and many in this community will have understanding and be able to relate to what you’re going through. Are you connected with any mental health support currently? This is obviously an incredibly painful time, and it’s really important you are supported through it. We’d recommend reaching out to an organisation called SANDS, they can offer support and advice to help you and your partner through this. They have 24/7 phone support available on 1300 072 637, as well as online support and helpful resources on their website:
https://www.sands.org.au/ You can also all the Beyond Blue helpline at any time, on 1300 22 4636, or on webchat. They can help you talk this through and will also be able to help you plan what's next so that you have that support in place. Reaching out is so important for those moments when you don’t know what to do. We hope you're able to be kind to yourself through this, as you've been so kind in sharing your experience here. Our wonderful community is here to provide you with as much support, advice and conversation as you need, so hopefully we’ll hear from them soon.
Kind regards,
Sophie M
