When a partner dies • Talking about your partner, who they were, what they liked can help you heal. Others may also have memories to share. • Some people may try and measure your healing by when you sort out the personal belongings and clothing of your loved one. Remember this is your journey and there is no right or wrong time to do this. • Wait a while before making any big decisions e.g. moving house or changing jobs to allow yourself time to think things through. • You may have good days and bad days. Some days you miss your partner more e.g. days and events that had special meaning as a couple, holidays and family anniversaries. Try and pre-empt these events so you can arrange to spend the days with others if you feel it would be painful on your own, however being alone is fine too, there is no right or wrong way to spend special days.
