This weekend I been asked by my partner which in the first time ever to accompy him as he wanted to place some flowers on his daughter's grave.

His daughter died very young and while I knew it's deverstating the grief almost as some members know drove him to try and end his life thankfully it failed and we moved on.

Normally when he wants to do this usually on brithdays and the anniversary of her death he disappears making us all worried but he asked me today if I would accompany him.

I of course said yes I feel like a break through has happened but worried he's going to regret it or get upset in front of me.

I'm glad you were able to accompany your partner and be supportive. I'm glad he's opening up to you more about that. It's a good sign. :heart:

This is what he needs to do,to let go and express all the emotions he's been with holding within.

Just be there,yeah.

No expectations hey.

Life,has a way,when we're ready to accept 'healing',

and healing,when we're ready and reached that point.

You can only be there as a supportive branch in the interim,

and your doing your job.

'He' wakes,when it's time and when he's ready.

'Slow and steady wins the race',

'God Bless'.
