My boyfriend died

I’m really truly honestly not coping. I don’t know what to do. I’m lost. I’m so so broken. I don’t know what to do. I haven’t been offered any support. I feel as of my life is over. He was/is my everything. My entire further. I know he’d want me to live my best life, but my best life was with him. I’m 22 and people keep saying “ take it day by day” but there are so many days!! I just want to be with him again. This should never have happened to him! Or me! We had our whole lives ahead of us. He kept telling me he wanted to marry me but he was waiting until he was better. But he never got better. 

  • I'm really sorry to read of your boyfriend's passing Katie, and on behalf of the Cancer Chat team, I would like to offer you our sincerest and heartfelt condolences.

    I'm also sorry to see you haven't been offered any support. Do get in touch with your GP and let them know how much you're struggling at the moment as they will be able to help. I'm not sure if you're aware but there is bereavement counselling such as cruse bereavement or the loss foundation available across the country to those who are coming to terms with the loss of a loved one so this may be another avenue worth investigating to get you through this difficult time.

    Many members here know how difficult it is to work through grief and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice but in the meantime I'm including some information we have about coping with grief for you to have a look at.

    My thoughts are with you at this time Katie.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

  • Everything I try to write sounds wrong to me, so will probably sound worse to you. Just know that I hear your pain. What a fabulous love you two experienced. 

    Keep treading water until you can swim again. xx
