Friends of my Mother who were really a GREAT same sex couple - did lots of things together, really ENJOYED each other, laughed a lot. Just two peas in a pod.
One just died of cancer - only made it a few months past diagnosis, and had seemed fit as a flee up until then.
I just can't understand why these things often happen to couples who are really good for each other. Of course it's a tragedy when this happens to anyone, no matter what their relationship is like. But these two had been together for about 8 years and were so happy together.
She was a classy lady and full of a lust for life that we don't see often enough with people. She was also witty and funny and kind. It was like the two of them found each other and it all started to make sense for them.
Thank goodness they had enough money that the other partner was able to quit working to nurse her through these last few months, but now who knows what she will do. I guess she has to start all over again.
It makes me so sad that things like this happen, but I suppose it is also a good reminder for us all to try and find that lust for life and enjoy each day that we have.
sometimes the most perfect relationships only last a very short while. but they are a blessing, and will be remembered forever.
sometimes bad relationships are dragged on forever and get worse and worse.
who says she needs to start over? what if that was the love of her life and it's enough for her? she will go on living and still loving her love. you dont always have to have a replacement.

It does seem to happen a lot and I've no idea why. I'm not religious, but it still always puzzles me why the supposedly good God's work is counterintuitive so often.

You might be right, but she's only in her 40s (partner was a bit older), and I hope for her that she finds love again.
I know if I died I would hope that my DH would find real love again.
It's not about finding a 'replacement', but about moving on with life. If someone is happy and fulfilled with a single life, then that's wonderful. But I wouldn't want my DH to live miserably with memories if there was someone else out there who he could be happy with.
Anyway, that's not really what I meant by 'starting over'. She is American and they have been living in London because her partner was English.
Now she'll probably move back over here and have to start over work wise/ friends wise etc.
Luckily she has enough money that she never has to work again if she doesn't want to, so that's one relief. But still it means leaving a whole 'life' behind and starting a new one somewhere else. That has to be tough when you've just lost your partner.

Because the human mind is incapable of comprehending God's will. There is a reason for everything and God knows better than we do. We're trying to comprehend the immortal with a mortal mind.
It will all make sense in the end....even though it may make no sense now.
