I have lost my young husband

Clairet
Offline

My husband passed away 22 days ago. He was just 52. I am 46. We have two children aged 13 & 10. I am completely devastated and cannot stop thinking about him. He was only diagnosed in May and we didn't get chance to do anything or plan anything. Nobody told us it would be so quick. He was such a fit and healthy man I can't understand it. He was chatting away on bank holiday Monday and then they told me on the Tuesday he wouldn't wake up. He died on the Thursday and we never really spoke again. I was with him when he died, I was holding his hand, it was horrible. I am so incredibly sad.

    Dear Clairet I am so sorry your husband is gone but you will keep his memory alive.  I was diagnosed with cancer last year and went to the Walker Clinic for surgery, chemo and radiaiton.  I was absolutely dumfounded about the number of people who were there receiving treatment.  Cancer is an epedemic that is affecting thousands of us.  I wish I had a dollar for every person who told me to stay strong, it actually made me so mad to hear that although I know every one meant well. The children with cancer is what breaks my heart, a friend of mine lost her 6 year old granddaughter to it last year.  I wish for you is the ability to live with the memories of every day your husband was alive. God bless you and your family. Linda
