Grief and Loneliness
I lost my partner just over three months ago. I've tried to reach out to community, be it in my synagogue or my friends, but it's hard to shake this unending feeling of loneliness. it persists even when I'm with others. There's a dark space in my heart that feels like it will never heal.
I'm not sure why I'm posting this really, other than to tell someone how I'm feeling. I'm in therapy and working hard to process the loss and the trauma around it. I'm communicative and vulnerable. I journal. But despite that work, everything hurts. I wear some item of his clothing every day. I talk to him in the mirror.
I still feel hollow and lonely.
I just want to give you a hug. It must have been overwhelming. I can never imagine losing my partner who has been my only friend so I know its not easy. Give yourself some time to grieve over the loss. I am glad you journal. I hope your family and friends are supportive during this delicate time. ❤
