Just found this thread.
My SL partner of 10 years has passed in RL. She wasn't able to log on in many years as her PC broke and couldn't afford a new one. We kept intouch through what's app.
I feel like part of me has been ripped away, and noone in RL gets it. There are real persons behing the keyboard, our minds makes it real for us. When they are gone the pain is real.
I'm babbling, just don't know what to say. I know I will heal, but right now, my heart is ripped open
Thanks for listening.
