Missing my husband so badly

My beautiful boy, my darling husband passed away a week ago! Roughly 10 weeks from first developing symptoms, diagnosis and his death from oesophageal cancer. We had a rushed wedding as we were planning to get married in our anniversary in November, but when it became so obvious that he wouldn’t make it that far we got married at home. No pictures as he was too poorly, bless him he did say his vows and the registrar said the look of love in his eyes when he looked at me when I said mine moved her to tears!

We knew the cancer would take him but not so soon, we never eve got to start chemo. He was so poorly that he ended up back in hospital with multi organ failure and sepsis. 

in the end his voice was just a whisper and the only thing I have of his voice is his voice mail message on his phone!

I miss him so much and don’t know how to do this life without him
