‘My life is not over. But it feels like it is sometimes’: the Rev Richard Coles on losing his partner

Death is par for the course for the Rev Richard Coles. Whether it’s pastoral care for the bereaved, discussions about the afterlife with parishioners or being called out to perform the last rites – death comes with the job. But since his partner, the Rev David Coles, died in December, a lot about death has taken Coles by surprise.

Great article. Sending love 💕 RevRichardColes

That was a lovely article, very sad but somehow uplifting. So sorry for your loss.

You are a lovely human being RevRichardColes 💚

ChrisPJGodfrey This was an absolutely lovely read. Thank you.

“Christianity... doesn’t get you out of loss or grief, or bereavement. It doesn’t spare you any of that” From my own personal experience, I find this is true, but a spiritual vocation surely requires greater outward reach & I find Richard’s partners perspective far more pertinent

venhilarydawson It’s still hard to believe he’s gone. God bless you and hold you RevRichardColes xxx

Beautiful piece.

What a lovely article.

Empathy. Grief is such a personal thing. I have had moments of intense grieving in my life - the death of my late fiance, the loss of a beloved dog, a break up I never saw coming. I am currently struggling with the death of my 15-year old cat. It's a process. I wish him the best.

A very honest and authentic read. Thank you for sharing RevRichardColes
