  • Hi Flips71

    My deepest condolences I lost my husband 15 years ago due to metastatic lung cancer it surely is the most heartbreaking time..my husband had been ill for some time trips to and from hospital however the cancer was not diagnosed after his death… all I can suggest is you take one day at a time yes it does get easier only now I can look back and treasure all the memories we made together I take great comfort from this 

    sending you loads of virtual hugs x

  • Hi flips71

    I lost my husband 2 months ago. We were told he would have about 2 years left, but he died 10 days later.

    I feel your pain. I know it is hard. It's harder than anything I have ever gone, going through.

    I'm functioning but sad.  For me, preparation for the funeral was like the last thing I was able to do for him. Somehow that helped.

    But after the funeral everyone around me started to carry on with there lives and i did feel forgotten. 

    I try to plan something each day, I do this because I can't spend a whole day on my own in the home we made together without getting upset. 

    It might be a walk with my dogs, a grocery shop, or going around mindlessly a garden centre. All these things I used to do, they feel different now.  No longer am I putting his favourite foods in my trolley and that upset me. Going back to an empty house is very hard. I leave a radio on when I go out, that way when I come home it isn't so quiet. 

    I talk to friends and family and sound fine but I'm broken inside.

    I don't know when this gets easier but people say it does. I hope so. 

  • Sorry for your loss 10 days that's so sad we was told 3 months without treatment unfortunately he cudnt have it n got just over 3 months the last 2 data were the worst tho,I can still hear his pain in my head when it's quiet X I've lost my dad and aunt last yr not cancer and then hubby 2 weeks ago I think someone got it in for me up there x
