Ok this is a hard one to write but i just want people to know that my partner of over 4 yrs, passed away very suddenly this afternoon. His user name on here was Bartdutch, we went to many socials and munches together. I hope some of you do know him, he was the love of my life and im just in total shock. I dont know what to do...
Suze xx
What? :shock: Oh Suze, I've just read this out to Gem, and she is every bit as shocked as I. We're so very sorry. He was a thoroughly nice guy, and a genuinely decent fella. Words fail us. Our sincerest condolences to you, and Bart's family.

I'm very sorry to hear about this. Bart was a pleasant friendly guy.
so sorry to hear about your sad loss suze, i didnt know you or Bart, but to lose the love of your life so suddenly must be devastating.....wishing you loads of wonderful memories to comfort you in the coming days xxx
So sorry to hear your sad news.
We had the pleasure of talking to you although briefly at a munch some time ago. Thinking of you. Make sure you have plenty of people to talk to when you need them
Thanks everyone for your messages, altho reading them makes me cry every time. I dont know what to do .. i dont know how to act... i mean is it wrong to be on here? Ive been walking aimlessly round the house all afternoon and evening, crying, hurting so much its like my heart is breaking. I just feel like i need to talk about him?
It was strange this morning, we had arranged a nye party but due to lack of interest, i cancelled it last night .... took it really personally but as usual Bart cheered me up and said we would celebrate it by going out for a meal and just being together. He even called me back to bed this afternoon and we had a bit of fun in bed. First time for ages! Then we just stared at each other and he told me he really loved me. We have had our fair share of problems and bart was a total flirt... he couldnt help himself and even today ive found texts on his phone from a woman we both know. But i know he loved me and he loved our life together. We were just a normal couple.
Then he got up and took a shower. Later, he was out bringing in the bins after collection and he said he felt breathless and sweaty. He even threw up in the garden. He sat down for a few mins and said he would be ok in a bit... then i heard this awful noise coming from the lounge, i couldnt even look at him, i knew it was bad... my daughter was home from work and i screamed at her to come and see him. I called an ambulance and we did everything we could... i gave him the kiss of life, i begged him to breathe... i told him i loved and needed him so much. The paramedics tried everything, drugs, cpr but they then told me he had gone. Bart, the love of my life, had gone.. just like that... its not fair. The coroner will be in touch on monday but in the meantime hes gone to the hospital and i cant bear to think of him all alone.... i want him here like he always has been.
How do i go on? How do i manage without my rock? He was the love of my life whatever shit life threw at us.
I had to type this, its a message from me to say PLEASE dont take life for granted, i did. Tell your loved ones u love them every day. Life is just too short.

Suze,
such a tragedy to happen and our condolences to you. Take strength from all support from whatever avenue and take solace that people do care.
Mal and Sarah
There are never the rights words at times like this.
Thinking of you Suze, just remember the good times you had together.

Suze, you're understandably in shock at the mo. Try not to be on your own. I remember recently several people recommended Cruse ...they're open again in a day or two, and in the meantime the website may be useful.
Keep talking if it helps. :therethere:
You poor darling - what a horrendous time for you - deepest condolences and all the best for getting through it, which you will!

Very,very sorry to hear your sad news. I didn't know him very well, but he always seemed to be a decent, pleasant bloke. Be brave and strong, I'm sure he'll be there to help in the darkest moments. Take care of yourself suze xxx
Suze,although I've never met you or your partner,my condolencies go out to you and your family and friends,you need to be surrounded by your friends and family to comfort you at this very sad time,but we,on here ,are also your friends,no one ever knows how they are going to act when something like this happens,do what ever you heel like doing,my thoughts are with you at this time,all the best,john
We're both totally shocked !!!
It was our privilage to know Bart, to chat to him about all sorts of subjects, he was such a knowledgeable man and a very warm person. We used to look out for Bart (and you Suze) on the guess list to do's. We'd know then that we'd certainly be with good company.
We used to meet up a few times a year a various "dos", but one that sticks in my mind is Bart singing "Behind Blue Eyes" at S&Ts last year. And if you read that and it brings a tear to your eye, well, that's ok cos thats what it does to us as well.
With deepest sympathy, John & Shel
i'm so so sorry suze, my thoughts are with you and your family, Bart was a very well loved man and a great guy xxx
so sorry to hear such sad news
sending you my love xxx
I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you x
I saw this last night when I returned from celebrating my New year with my partner and I just can't imagine the pain you must be enduring right now.
Although my sorrow for your loss is no salve. It is the only way I have to empathise with you.
Please contact CRUSE as they can help. Grieving is, like every other human emotion, a process that they can help you navigate safely and healthily.
We were very sorry, and of course shocked, to hear this news, yesterday.
It was a pleasure to have known Bart for as long as we have, and we shall always remember him.
Our thoughts are with you, and your family, Suze, at this very sad time.
