Lonely place to be

Hi, my partner has stage 4 incurable cancer, we are relatively young with one teenage child. It’s 18 months into diagnosis and things are ok, partner still working and trying to keep things as normal as possible but is recently having fewer good days then bad. It’s so difficult to watch. I’m doing everything I can to support but I feel like am watching the world go by as we live in fear and darkness. I know it sounds a little extreme, but does anyone else feel this way. I’m not the priority here, my partner is but I need to be in good mental health so I can get through this and help my family through this.

  • Hey, i am so sorry to hear ur news! Such a an awful time for u all. U are right a good mental state will help u but if im honest, we lost my dad at 62 just two years ago to bowel cancer and ive since learnt myself or mum were not in a good mental state i really dont think anything u do can trully help ur mental state, watching someone u love day by day become less and less of them selfs is just heart wrenching. 

    two years later we still grief, we still get angry, our mental state still suffers, be kind to urself ur loosing ur partner, im going through it again, mums just been diagnosed with cancer, if ever u need a chat from an unbiased person please message me, ur not alone (so cliche i know) xxx
