Help Has anyone else here lost a partner/spouse?

[YourLocalSadGirly]

I recently lost my girlfriend to suicide and the grief is tearing me apart. I've thought about suicide but I want to hear how others who have experienced a similar loss dealt with it before I decide that my life isn't worth living anymore. It doesn't have to be the same way she died but I just want to feel not as alone as someone who has lost a partner. Did it get easier as time went on? Were you ever able to move on? Were you able to find someone else? Anything you'd care to share I would be very grateful to hear. Thanks for reading and I hope you are having a good day.

I haven't lost my significant other to suicide, just a loss over divorce. (That's bad enough).

I'm sorry, this must be really difficult for you. As far as grief, and moving on, my experience at age 68 is that it's a gradual thing, perhaps easier for some than others. I think the younger a person is the more resilient they are, but that's just my opinion.

Stay active, try to be engaged, then you'll find moments where you feel better. There will always be a place in your heart for her, but perhaps you can find another place for someone else.
