Losing my darling wife to secondary breast cancer

Hi - I lost my darling wife to secondary breast cancer in January - we were married for 24 years and have 2 fantastic children - 18 and 16 and 1st year university and school respectively. It’s all very raw and I have a whirlwind of emotions - trying to stay strong for the children and becoming mum as well - my god what a job she did for us as a family and it’s now really hitting home that’s she isn’t here and it now becoming very daunting and I feel very lonely  and worried about the future without her. There is no right or wrong way to deal with this and I have lots of friends and family who are around and have been fantastic but I am posting this to see if there are others in my situation who might give me advice or solace outwith the friends and family circle and provide their perspective- I’m the sort of person who likes to talk so if there are  kindred spirits out there who want to reach out and share experiences then I am all ears. I’m starting a  journey and I’ll be keen to hear from other good souls who have been  where I am at just now - Thankyou

    Thanks for your response. I’ve just read your own post  and I am so sorry for your loss - the last 3/4 days have been really tough - I had caught up with quite a few of our friends over the bank holiday and whilst it was so nice to see people it’s really hitting  home now that she’s gone and I’ve shed some serious tears - my friends getting emotional too about the whole thing. I guess this must be entering the proper grieving stage and I think I will take some counselling - lots of people saying I should as it helps talking to someone independent and qualified - all the best to you
