Finding it hard with my husband having stage 4 cancer.

My husband has stage 4 lymphoma cancer and we got married in February just gone. Im finding it really difficult to understand him.     I feel like I've lost the man I married. The morphine is at 180mg every 24hrs. I just feel useless. He is constantly on his game (destresses) and I feel like we are so distant but he is just struggling to see it. 

I miss how we used to be but I just know this is how its gotta be.....

    Hi A-mi4

    I totally understand how you are feeling.  My partner is currently having a second treatment of chemo, this time in tablet form.  He has withdrawn so so much from me and I feel selfish for feeling so lonely.  He is barely talking to me at the moment so it is challenging knowing how I can support.

    I feel that by you just being there, even if in silence, that he will feel your love and support.  Pls know you are not alone.  Lots of love xx
