    Hi I am so very sorry for you and feel your pain. I lost my husband on 9 January this year to the disease. He only lived three weeks after diagnosis it's been the most horrible year ever. I miss him so much and wonder at times if it's worth going on. Then I remember my children and grand children and know that there is still some wonderful moments to live through. Memories are what keep me going and that he would want me to be happy. Warmest wishes to you as you travel along the journey you did not choose. Take care. A

    Hello, you sound so much like myself , how hard it is to do this journey without the one you love beside you. I have two grown daughters and two grandsons and I know how much my hubby would have wanted me to see them grow up, but it's hard we go Xmas shopping together and I buy them treats just like he would have done trying to carry on the way he would have wanted. This awful cancer takes so much away from us , and we try to keep going for our family but I think we both know deep down inside its not really what we want there is only one thing and that's him our beloved hubby, my husband was such a kind person hated arguments a real peace keeper, I am trying my best to go on but sometimes wish I would not wake up, hope you get thru this Xmas with your family, thinking of you know it will be your first Xmas also take care S
