4 months after my husband died... lonely

In 3 days it will be 4 months he is gone.

Before he died I told him it would be hard without him, he replied: "I know..."

He told me I should remarry one day because I was too young to stay alone... I answered it would be unwise. That we had a baby girl... How could I trust someone in our lives... He insisted I shouldn't be alone...

But I am completely alone.

My whole family died of cancer. My mother, her sister, their parents. My husband then 2 months ago my God mother...

it is weird, having no one to call to say we are back from the holidays. No one to call to say baby is in hospital again...

 My dad & sister live abroad... calling them to say that I'm in trouble when there is nothing that can do, to make them feel helpless... why should I do that... so I don't tell them.

What more to say...

  • Hello Umemboshi,

    I can understand how you are feeling right now and whilst nothing I can say will erase your pain I do hope you are finding some comfort here on Cancer Chat.

    Talking to others, especially those who can relate to what we are going through, can help a bit so please know we are here for you whenever you need a shoulder to cry on.

    Best wishes,

  • hi..I have very reluctantly clicked onto this site for no other than to selfishly try to lift some of the heavy from myself, but I started to read your comments. Cancer has struck you down so many times to the point where you have no one to lean on when your need for some one to just be there , to listen, to understand, to be interested, to be on your side. You sound young....make as many friends as possible,,,, talk about your loved one...out loud....smile as you do.....get involved with everything around you...smile....cry.... and don't stop... Don't be like some people...(me.)
