Thank you for posting here. I lost my partner of 28 years almost 2 years ago (12/18/23). He is in my unconscious and my consciousness everyday. I dreamed about him this week. It is actually still unreal to me that he is not here anymore, or at least his human body. People in my life, one very important friend, actually, blew my mind. She was helping me clean out the house my partner and I lived in. I started to cry and became really overwhelmed. She made the comment, "C'mon, it has been 6 months." I felt so hurt. I have come to realize that people may not understand and we are all different. I have lost many people in my life over they years, including my father, but this is different. I do not think that the feeling of loss and sadness will ever "go away," but does not take me over as often, if that makes any sense. Hang in there. Do what you need to do for yourself to memorialize your loss. There is no time limit on grief and loss.
