    Hello. I honestly don't know where start. I was trying to cope with the death of both my beloved parents and the suicide of one of my best friends, when my partner left me taking his income and some of my money as well, with him---with no warning or time to prepare--- the day the rent was due.

    I feel like I won't make it.

    I am so sorry for all that you have gone through with the loss of your parents and the suicide of one of your best friends. There is no excuse for what your partner did but, unfortunately, there are some evil people in this world.

    I hope you were able to pay your rent or at least ask for an extension with your landlord and explain the situation.

    It will not be easy for you but you must think of yourself right now and stay strong. I hope you have relatives/friends that you will be able to connect with to help you with your situation.

    I will be praying for you and wishing you well.

    Thank you so much for your kinds words and support. It's so hard and sitting here alone it can feel so hopeless and sad. As I'm sure you know.

    I know how hard it is to be alone and feel hopeless and sad. I lived with my sister (my best friend) who passed away 1.5 years ago and she was the last of my family. The nights and weekends are especially difficult. The grief never really goes away but you learn to live with it as time passes and I remember all the good memories I shared with my parents and sister without breaking down in tears. They will forever be with you in your heart as you go through this grief process.
