I am also new to this but felt I needed to write down my thoughts after my husbands cancer diagnosis. It is difficult because you want to appear strong to help but all the time you are lost and questioning everything you do. Are you doing it right? Is there something you should be doing and do not know ? . You feel selfish when you think about yourself but you know everyone has a different journey but talking can help as this is two people trying to cope with the diagnosis. You just have to be there for the person but have some respite for yourself to relax, cry or just space to get it together.
