my wife, my everything

hello, not sure what to say or do this is all new, my wife and the love of my life was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, it broke us both, but our glass's always half full, and we made the best of it, she fought so brave, she was and always will be a hero to me and our boy, sadly she lost her battle on 6th April 22. and the pain and loss i feel every waking moment is undescribable, I feel dead inside like some one has come and stoly my family, me and my boy are so close and try so hard to not fall apart in front of him, we have started counceling the pair of us, I dont know if it will help, i hope it will because my boy has his whole life ahead of him and dont want this to define the rest of his life, I read a book about a priest who's partner passed away and he summed it up so well, when your partner dies they take your future and identity with them, because i dont know how to be a widow i only know how to be one half of a fantastic mrriage that is no more. sorry for rambling on, just need to vent the million thoughts in my head at once, thank for listening if anyone has.

  • I truly feel heartbroken for you and your Son, and I know that there is nothing that anyone can say or do that will take your pain away.  I hope the counselling helps.  Years ago a relative of mine lost her husband who was her whole world.  Just like you and your wife, they were completely devoted to each other.  Their eleven year old daughter was in pieces, she lost her dad and her best friend.  Anyway, mother and daughter both had counselling, and they helped get each other through it.  The reason I am telling you this is because I want to let you know that there is hope for you and your son's futures.  They never 'got over' their devastating loss, but they got through it together.  There are some lovely folks on this forum and you can always come here to talk or vent, we are all here whenever you need us, Violet, xx
