My first post here. I am looking for open online LGBT bereavement groups, ideally for people who have lost a spouse or partner.

While supports are increasing, it still seems like there is not a lot available but maybe I am not looking in the right places. I have been to three support groups over the past few years, but was never able to find a group that was LGBT focused.

I am in my 50's. Lost my amazing partner to cancer 3 years ago. Still feeling like hell a lot of the time....

This is my first post - I'm reaching out to try and find support from other people who are experiencing grief and loss in their 30s.

My wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in January this year - it's a horrible, rare type called mucinous cancer that spreads fast. It's stage 4 and terminal, we aren't sure how long we have but it's been suggested as weeks.

We have a newborn, a baby boy who is currently 4 weeks old. She's devastated and doesn't want to leave me or him -...

They say there is no timeline on grief and it seems like that is right.
Some days I just sit and think all day about what happened and feel terrible.
It feels like I am stuck in a cycle that now has no comfort even in melancholia.
Dose anyone else relate to this and if so is there anything you can suggest.]]> 7 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 10:55:15 -0400 http://www.griefincommon.com/connect/threads/i-lost-the-only-person-i-ever-fell-in-love-with-and-understood-me.2318/ http://www.griefincommon.com/connect/threads/i-lost-the-only-person-i-ever-fell-in-love-with-and-understood-me.2318/ invalid@example.com (Earthangelfaith) Earthangelfaith
It's so hard being without her. She woke me up to who I really am authentically. I can't watch the shows we used to watch, or go to the places that we used to frequent together.

I don't know what to do. I just don't know. Everybody in my life would rather I put on a fake smile and act like everything's...
