for the Loss
of a Partner

Your grief is unique to YOU.
You are entitled to feel while you grieve.
There is no wrong way to grieve any loss.

You were soul mates. It’s been years, but no matter how much time passes, your memories still feel like a searing hot knife slicing through your heart like it was yesterday.

You’re hesitant to confide in anyone anymore, as you’re afraid of sounding like a broken record, not able to move on or let go.

Every time you close your eyes to sleep at night, you relive images of the happy times spent, thinking that they are still alive, but when you awake, the nightmare sets in again.

The crying spells, the sleepless nights, the uncontrollable suffering as you sweat. You breathe hard and struggle to get up every day as you remember your loved one taking their last breath.

The only thing that gets easier with time is hiding the unbearable pain from others, but the agony never goes away.

At times you wish you could just become numb to the memories, but the grief and the sorrow seem like your last link to them. You worry that healing from the trauma of losing them would only take you further away.

You know you must rebuild. It is time to start making small changes that will give you the strength and power to feel alive again.

You will never forget. You just learn to live in a new way and embrace the past. Your love for them will remain in your heart for the rest of your life.

You can never erase your life experience, but you can readjust to your new way of life, never forgetting what you had, while still moving forward.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
