I am so sorry Rhubarbdragon.

I can't begin to imagine how difficult and absolutely heart-breaking it must be to watch your husband go through this but I hope it helps to know that quite a few of our members have experienced anticipatory grief whilst supporting their loved ones in the latter stages of their cancer journeys as well so they will know only too well of the struggles and challenges you face and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from them soon.

I hope you find this article on how to cope with anticipatory grief useful as well but as always, if it would help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

We're thinking of you Rhubarbdragon and sending you all our strength and support at this very difficult time.

Kind regards,

Thank you Steph for taking time to reply it does help just hear from someone

Like always these things ebb and flow 

I speak to a therapist too which is really helpful and as things are progressing hubby is opening up more which is good 

Id say to anyone in the same situation please reach out for help

And take care of yourself too

Its a tough road 

Enjoy each golden moment however small these will sustain you and become the memories

You're most welcome. 

And your words are so touching. I'm sure our members will definitely appreciate them and heed your advice if they need to.

You take care of yourself too Rhubarbdragon and remember that we will always be here for you.
