Lost my one and only

Need to talk..my name is jess I'm 37 ..

.. im devastated  lost my partner  tony who was 36 to stomach cancer he passed away in my arms on 4th December  2015 ... just 2 months ago 

He was diagnosed  just 4 months before we was told he had a year and with treatment possibly longer ... we didn't get the chance to sort or arrange  or get anything  set in stone as we was gonna get over Xmas and start to deal with things. ..we was in so much shock to find out he had cancer and was gonna die that the shock took over everything  every day was hard ... 

We was ment to get married the day he died in fact it was booked for half 9 in morning but he died at 6 .. we didn't even make it ... before tony was diagnosed  we had so many plans to marry to have kids together  to travel etc.... we didn't get to do any of that... God I miss him terribly  .. I dont want to be here no more ... a part of me died the day tony died ... 

I have tried to get help from everywhere doctors friends searching constantly  on line ... I have had 3 bereavement  sessions so far no nothing seems to help i have friends  I talk to but nothing seems to help i know everyone saying it's still so early and raw  but I can't take this the pain is there all the time the tears are constant crying all the time .the feeling sick all the time the anxiety I don't sleep till about 4 or 5 only for few hours and I have horrible dreams  ... thousands  of things running through my head the guilt the anger the whats ifs etc....

I looked after my tony my love.. I was there 24 7 by his side ..took control of his Meds appointmentso everything  as he couldn't take it all in ... now I'm here and he isn't. This is cruel illness and world I just want to be with him .......... help ...

  • Hi Jess, like you I lost my husband suddenly last July. He had pancreatic cancer which had spread to his liver and lymph nodes. It was only 4 weeks from diagnosis to his passing.  It completely destroyed me as we had been married 50 yr.  Like you I did not want to be here without him and did something silly ( which I now regret ) but was saved by my family and friends who cared enough about me to check up to see why I had not been in touch. I now realise that I was not being fair to my son's and my grandchildren who  were also grieving. I still miss my hubby so, so much and do'nt know how to move forward but people tell me that it will get easier, so I have to believe them. I find it a comfort to lay his photo beside me in bed, strange I know, but it gets me through the night, ready to face another day. I also talk to him as I go about my daily routines as if he is still there and yes I scream at him for leaving me - we all deal with grief in a different way and I am sure you will find your own way. Sending healing hugs to you xx

  • Hi thermal no not strange  at all I have photos of tony everywhere and beside my bed with his ashes I kiss every day and morning. .. I carry around his belongings  as In his drivers license his bank cards a necklace with his hair in it ... I have become obsessed with him ... I was pretty much like that when he was alive and now even more .. I talk to him all the time as he never ever leaves my head ... thank you for your message I'm trying so much so try cope ... sorry for your loss too xx

  • I hope you find the comfort  that  you are seeking. We have no option but to try and move forward  as best we can, the only way we know how. I am always here for a chat if you want to let off steam and I hope you get everything  sorted. I have many shoulders that I can cry on and I have to say, it does help to off load sometimes x

  • Thank you Thelma I'm doing all I can to get all this sortred just some days everything gets so bad I just go into panic erratic mode and last for days ... 

    I have found a website with a chat room and people on there are great just Like you lot on here .. So been on there last few days on top of sorting out this mess I'm in

    thank you xxxx 

  • Hi Jess, so glad that things are starting to improve for you. Even after 7 months I still have moments where I crumble but I have to pick myself up and dust myself off and start all over again. You will get stronger and things will get easier  I promise, but you are allowed your special moments whereby you can indulge in your grief and remember your very special man. Chin up my love, whilst you have someone to chat to, you will always have a friend xxx
