Young Widower

Hi. I lost my partner of almost 17 years last month after a 2 year battle with breast cancer. We have 3 daughters. We shared the exact same birthday same year AND hospital. Our mum's would have crossed paths. My Chloe passed away a day before our 40th bdays. We were best friends and I just feel so lost without her. Our girls have been ok. So brave throughout. I have been hoping her funeral will help me find a bit of peace. But the closer it comes the worse I'm feeling. Can't sleep or eat properly at all. I hate to post all this me me me stuff but I just don't know what else to do at the moment. I just can't talk to anyone. But feel the urge to share her story. Rest in Peace Chloe love you forever 1983-2023

  • Hello SamG83, I just wanted to offer my condolences on the loss of your partner Chloe. It sounds like she was very well loved and I wish you strength for the funeral and the coming months xx

  • Hi mate.

    I'm in my late 40's, and my wife was diagnosed around 20 months ago (maybe. My memory is hazy at best due to everything that has went on, so might be a month or 2 out either way) with BC.

    Whilst she is still here, your story still hits hard as i can see my own history with both my wife and myself in your description. I really don't have much in the way of words of wisdom or even comfort to share because I've barely held it together myself.

    Just want to say, I hear you, and I hope you do find that bit of peace. I'd also like to add, you're not being "me, me, me ..." at all. Better to vent somewhere than to keep all this stuff in. I have used these forums as an outlet too. Many people do. No one will judge you on here as we've walked the walk too.
