multiple myeloma

I lost my husband in July from multiple myeloma After battling for nine years . We had been married for forty one years . I feel devastated and miss him . Once the funeral was over people stopped calling and  it was as though I was expected to carry on with  life . I was told he was at peace now no more hospital appointments and chemo but the sense of loss just gets worse and coming back to a empty  house is awful. I wake up with a feeling of dread every morning it never  leaves me.

  • Thank you Jane for your kind words I am new to  this forum. Sometimes I don't know where to turn and find myself wandering about the house talking to him. He was such a jovial character I can't get out of my mind his last day he was so weak and hardly speaking. Even when he passed we were so shocked he had been in and out of hospital so many times we thought he was indestructible such a strong man. Someone said to me you have Christmas to look  forward to .I couldn't answer Peter loved Christmas having grandchildren round he always made best of things even when very ill.i can't find any inner strength to carry me on he wouldn't be happy with me I know. I have my grandchildren as much as I can which helps .
