Hi Yvonne,

I am sorry to hear this. I lost my mum last week, 54 years old after a very short battle with pancreatic cancer. My dad has lost his wife of 33 years and they'd been together 38 like yourselves. It's so heartbreaking that I've lost my best friend but my heart breaks seeing my dad on his own and having to send him home to their home which was once a bustling house of life and now it seems so empty.

Remember, although it may feel like it, you aren't alone, this forum has helped me to realise this. Although at the same time we wouldn't wish this on anyone. Life will never be the same but continue to think of the good times and always reach out for someone to speak to when you need to, speaking about my mum is our way of coping with our loss.

I wish you all the best.
