Hello Chris

I am sorry for your loss,  I lost my dad at the end of January and then in March my partner of 32 years was diagnosed with bowel, liver and lung cancer.  He died May 17th.  Unbelievable really. It was hard as I looked after him for his last weeks and when he died I did not know what to do.

I feel today 3 months on that I can now start to rebuild my life.  It is very hard but as long as you are kind to yourself and dont do too much you will get there too. I will never forget them but know that they are no longer in pain.

I am here if you want to chat, please take care of yourself and its baby steps all the way. x

Hi Chris

i am so very sorry for your loss.  I lost my husband to cancer six years ago on the 31 st of August.  I didn't know how to live without him and just wanted to cry.  I went through so many different emotions and when someone said "you will get over him" I felt like hitting them and I am not a violent person.  The only thing I can say is it is a long road loosing the man you have loved and still do is not easy.  Just try and take each day as it comes and talk to people about him.  Do you ever getting over loosing your husband I am not sure, can you learn to laugh again ....yes but only when you are ready.  Sadly for me I have now been diagnosed with cancer and wish my husband was here to hold my hand.  I will be thinking of you and if you want to reply please do.

take care Chris xx
