Feeling untethered
I recently lost my partner of 16 years.
In the span of 4 weeks my entire life changed. We were blindsided by a cancer diagnosis and whirlwind tour of the hospital. Now all that remains is an urn.
I feel adrift at the moment, so much of who I am was tied up in loving her. Now there is just silence and I feel lost.
So much of what I feel can't be said to those around me, I can't bring myself to burden them with something they would not truly understand. So here I am venting my feelings on kindly Internet strangers.
