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.
