Alone

My husband died in March 2017 after being told he had oesophageal cancer.It's a horrible time but you support and go to all the appointments see nurses doctor's consultants, deal with getting meds and all that is needed. The when at your lowest after the death not a soul gets in touch all The GPS ..Mac Nurse ..that you have told all your fears and sorrows to totally cut you adrift so much for not doing this alone......is it just me a five minute call is all it would take  xx

  • Dear jinky

    my condolesences to you for the loss of your beloved husband.

    I lost my dear father just under a year ago, my mother stood by him and attended all appointments etc like you , listened and took support from our GP weekly, as they used to ring her up, and  macmillian support during this time. When my father passed away, not one phone call from either to pass on their condolesences etc or offer any words of kindness, I ended up writing a letter to my fathers consultant outlining that just a phone call would have been nice, which he did reply and took my comments on board.

    I am glad that there was this website where I could go on and join in the group support.

    take care

  • Hi there ... I'm sorry you are feeling so alone ... I'm sure there must be some help out there for after care ... maybe try macmillan again and tell them how your feeling and they may know a group or where to turn now you need it .... and there's a lot of us on here that miss someone and our heart brakes too ... so may not be able to call but remember your not alone ... thinking of you xxx big hug
