My husband of 27 years was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer 2 years ago.  Last week he was told his cancer had advanced and told he had 6-12 months.  We have a 10 years old child and I'm lost. My mind is all over the place, I have terrible depression and anxiety, and I'm trying to keep that stoic smile locked on my face but I am so close to breaking all the time.  I'm only writing on here because I know how you feel and it never stops. I can't bring myself to ask for help from anyone, because as long as I'm doing everything it looks like I'm coping. The second anyone asks how I am, I tear up, and anytime I see anyone, I don't hear what they're saying because I am so terrified they'll ask me how I am I can't concentrate.  I can't even bring myself to call my doctors to get help for how I'm feeling.  I'm in my mid 40's and I've spent nearly every year of my adult life with my husband, we've gone through so much together.  I'm so scared, I know how you are feeling and I wouldn't wish this one anyone. 

You are brave. To have a small child and just functioning daily for him must be tough.  If you need to chat I can be there. It might help us along when we've burnt family and friends ears enough. Hope and love to you xx
