Feeling very lost

Hi, I am currently going through such a difficult time in my life, and I feel like a lost soul. I have separated from my ex partner of ten years, due to his illness. I am left devastated. I have two young children, 4 and 2. I feel so empty inside, the loneliness is such an awful feeling every single day, it feels like I’m grieving as well as feeling heartbroken. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar to myself? Or if anyone has any advice or help for me please? I fear I will feel this pain for a lot of years. Thank you so much for listening. I really appreciate this forum.

  • Hi, Theresa. Really sorry to hear you're going through a difficult time. The separation must be very difficult, but it's good that you have your children and that they're young enough to adapt to a new routine. Focus on taking care of yourself and making good memories with your children. Feeling like you're grieving is normal and you have to go through that process, but it will help you to heal eventually. Be kind to yourself, and ask for support here any time you need it. We're all here to listen.
