just lost husband to stage 4 cancer

hello, everyone, I am from New York and came across this website that looks so helpful, on August 18th the love of my life passed away from stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to his liver, bones, and brain. This is the most painful thing I have ever gone through in my life, I feel so half empty without him. The crazy thing about it is we found out about cancer on August 1st by the 18th he passed away. Everything was such a shock and still is, it's killing me inside not having him here with me especially at night. I look at our four children and the thought that he won't be around for their growing up is unbearable. You know the symptoms did not start to show until July when he started complaining of his back, right shoulder, and arm, he went into the hospital on July 31st and on Aug 1st we found out about cancer, I thought he had months to a year, not two weeks can anyone else who has gone through this with a loved one please tell me how they deal and cope with this because I feel like I am going into depression I cry every day, I miss and love him so much we were together 16 years, I will never have another man like him

  • It is almost an impossible situation. Twelve months have gone by and I yearn for a shoulder to share with. My wife and I spent 64years together and although some would say we were very fortunate, as we were of course, but the length of time makes the agony of loss ever more of a burden to carry. Messages are one thing but physical contact with someone who knows the score can do wonders. I would like to try this as a group of like minded people and a message of solidarity to try and understand life in more depth is my aim.  Kind regards, Brian
