i lost my husband four weeks ago and of course just so unhappy davy had lung cancer and over the past 9 years had fought lots of other cancers which at that time he won but not this time, his sons and daughter are so sad and i feel for them as that was there dad and they loved him so much Davy was just one of the good guys and loved everybody he never had a bad word to say about anybody, the hardest thing is that i will never see him again after being together for 48 years so finding this journey so hard and not wanting to be in this club so just gutted

  • Hi pensioner,

    I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I can only imagine how incredibly difficult this must be and I want to send our condolences. No doubt things must be very raw at the moment.

    We are always here for support on the forum, so keep using this as a safe space to write things down and reach out to others, if you'd like to. I'm sure there will be others here going through, or have been through, something similar. Hopefully you'll get some more replies soon - you can also use the search bar at the top of the page to find other relevant discussions and people.

    I hope you have a good support network around you too - keep speaking to each other about how you feel, as it helps to talk.

    If ever you feel you need some additional support, have a look at Cruse. They offer various resources on their website, and they also have a helpline if you want someone to chat to who understands.

    It may take some time but hopefully things will gradually start to become more manageable. Take things a day at a time and keep looking after yourself.

    As I say, we are always here if you need it.

    Best wishes,
