Sometimes our goodbyes are more profound and are for forever, as we know it. Death can come by in many different ways. When we decide to go travelling there is such an excitement with all the adventure that beckons. So, what should we do when the one thing that would bring us home in an instant – the loss or threatened loss of a loved one – actually happens? Or when we are due to go on our travels and someone dies?

Imagine this: you arrive in the romantic location of Siem Reap – where the ruins of Angkor Wat with the fabled stunning sunrise await you and your beau – only for that beau to dump you.

We met in high school , I was 15, him 18. One day he asked me out after class and we have been together ever since. We grew up together, Josh and I. He became more than just my boyfriend, he became my best friend. Everything we did, we did together.
