A man I knew was 40 with a wife and 2 young children (8-10 years old). He died of kidney cancer very quickly. He lived a perfectly healthy life then BAM! It was a great loss but now he will always be able to watch over his family and protect them.

I've never had that happen and don't know anyone who has experienced this. The closest thing I can think of was when a close friend of one of my parents was the victim of a homicide. They were pretty good buddies for a few years and them all of a sudden she was killed one night. It was a very traumatic event that took years to recover from.

I have had friends die, but never a girlfriend. I hope I dont have to ever go through that with my wife either, at least not for a very long time.

No hope it never happens

I have lost plenty of people over the years. It's never easy.

My boyfriend that I dated when I was 19-20 died in an accident. I've dated since then, but I think it does make it more difficult to me to attatch to people

A guy I dated in high school died about 6 months after we broke up. I still think about him to this day, and that was 14 years ago. I think back that if I didn't break up with him, he would have been with me that day and not going where he was going. I think its something that will be with me forever, and that I'll never ever be over it, but will always get a little better at dealing with it, if that makes sense.

My spouse, it's been 940 days.
Even though we had a "difficult" marriage, I will always be haunted by what I could have or should have done differently.

I've never had a partner pass away while we were together. My first boyfriend died in a car crash seven years after we broke up, but we were still on good terms and saw each other occasionally. It still screws with my head a bit that someone I was intimate with is no longer with us.
My parents had been together for 26 years when my dad died after a lengthy illness. My mom passed away suddenly and unexpectedly 4 months later. There was a legitimate medical reason she died (pulmonary embolism), but a lot of us around her feel like she died of a broken heart. It's sad, but it happens.
My grandmother, on the other hand, lived another 26 years after my grandfather died. I won't say she completely got over it, but she carried on and lived life to the fullest.

It has never happened to me, but please accept my condolences if you are dealing with this right now. I'm very sorry for your loss.
