My husband died suddenly

Hi, My husband (42) died on 1st December and i'm struggling to come to terms with it all. He was a very fit healthy man and was never poorly. We have 2 kids and got married only 4 months ago. he had a blood clot in his leg and 2 weeks later he was diagnosed with metastatic cancer (primarily bowel and moved to 50% of his liver, 1 lung and some lymph nodes). He was given 3 years to live but he died within 4 weeks of diagnosis The Dr's said they had only seen one case like this before where the cancer was so aggressive. I am still in total shock and i don't know how i am meant to do this? i'm broken and part of me wishes i could die too which i know sounds terrible as i have 2 children to look after and get through losing their daddy. I know i need to go on for them, but knowing my future will be without my husband  leaves me hollow and scared.

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I just wanted to send a reply to say I'm very sorry to hear of what you have been through. We are always here for support if you need it, and I hope that the forum can be helpful for you. You've already received a reply and hopefully you will get more as I'm sure there will be others here with similar experience or who understand.

    If you feel you're struggling and would like some extra support, have a look at Cruse. They have various resources and a helpline, as well as information about people to speak to.

    I can only imagine how difficult things must be at the moment - do take care of yourself and take things a day, or an hour, at a time. And as I say, we're always here if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
