I miss my husband

my husband passed away 29th October.  H ewas diagnosed with prostate cancer Jan 2013, although we knew it was terminal we both thought we had a few more months, but he fell down stairs and was admitted to hospital with a serious head injury, he seemed to be recovering but then deteriorated rapidly.  the cause if his passing was primarily the cancer.  I can't believe he has gone I miss him so much I feel cheated that he went too soon, although I am so grateful he regained consciousness after the head injury and I was able to speak to him again,  I feel so guilty for leaving the hospital the night he passed, but I truly thought he was getting better and would be coming home (as did the hospital) had I known I would never have left him, i left the hospital about 8.30 then i got a call at six in the morning saying he was very poorly, when i got there he was unconscious he passed later that day and I never got to speak to him again. I miss him so much I can't see a future without him he was my soulmate

    Hi I lost my husband of forty years at the start of the New Year.   he had been in hospital for only three weeks before he died  he was active up until the week before he was admitted to hospital with kidney fail failure caused by cancer growth in his urinary track    We knew nothing at about any cancer prior to him being admitted to hospital  it has shocked me yo the core  he was a happy healthy man or do we thought  no obvious symptoms  although no diagnosis it looks as if it was prostatic  a rare case I was told  It makes no difference rare or not it was too late for any treatment  i was with him right up until the end  he fought death all the way but he lost in the end   I am absolutely devastated  I know how you feel I truly do  like you I am trying to come to terms with my loss

  • Willan,

    I am so sorry for your loss, it really is so hard, my husband was diagnosed in 2013 with terminal prostate cancer he passed away 29th Octber, we thought he had a good few more months, but sadly he fell down the stairs and had a bad head injury and whilst in hospital over nine days they said the cancer spread to his lungs and then he got Pneumonia so it was such a shock.  Thank you for your reply
