(Excerpted from our book, Lost My Partner – What’ll I Do? Revised and Expanded Edition)
“Last night I suddenly woke up and was sure I could feel my husband lying there next to me, just like always. It was so reassuring that I was afraid to turn and look, in case it was all in my imagination.”
Many people report finding solace in having “conversations” with their deceased spouse/partner.

It’s not uncommon then, to experience a sense of your spouse/partner’s presence from time to time.
It can give you a comforting sense of connection to your partner in the early period after his or her death.
