My first partner got cancer and when his parents found out they took over and that was if for me. Never allowed to say goodbye or even know where he is buried. They destroyed all our photos as well

It was a pub in Clapham Old Town. I used to deliver the beer there. I remember it. It changed everything for me. The family took every penny and he never got to say goodbye properly.

My partner died in 2016. I married him in the hospital days before he died. It meant so much for both of us - I’m grateful for the sacrifices of previous generations. We’ll never forget them.

John and Steven's story ends in heartbreak. A good turn from John is returned with malice from Steven's family how hurtful 🥺
