1 year on from losing my wife to breast cancer

Hi it's Chris here I lost the love of my life a year ago to breast cancer one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through I guess I just wanted to tell people how I'm feeling. The answer is I've just been numb for a whole year constantly thinking is there a heaven will I ever see her again and I guess the truth is no one really knows. I've been doing okay I've got a 10 year old and a three year old so they keep me busy I really do see mummy in their eyes But it's so hard to stay positive move forward whatever moving forward actually means Life could be so cruel I'm just here for a chat

  • Hello Chris2020

    I can't believe that it's been a year already. I remember you posting in the early days after your wife died and how very raw the grief was that you shared with us here on the forum. I've wondered on many occasions since then how you and the boys were coping and I'm glad to hear that although it's been an incredibly difficult year that you've gotten through it together. 

    I'm sure that there are many days when it probably doesn't feel like it but you've come so far, Chris. Just taking it a step at a time, day by day. It's okay to have days when you struggle to maintain positivity, just keep doing what you're doing and know that the Cancer Chat community is here for you if you need us. 

    Best wishes,
