Hello Pete, My condolences on your loss. It really is an overwhelming sense of helplessness when we have to sit and watch someone we love die. My brother lost his wife of 44 years two years ago. Her GP said she had a bad cold but she died 7 weeks later not knowing she had cancer until the end. Such a shock but then she never lingered in lots of pain like alot of cancer patients do and for that part we are grateful. Absorbing the enormity of not having your wife anymore will be so consuming and I wish you peace and comfort as you
Just wanted to add my condolences and hope you have other family members with whom you can talk. Be kind to yourself and don't neglect yourself. If you haven't got or don't feel like talking to family and/or friends you could ring the Cruse bereavement service (Freefone 0808 808 1677) just to chat. I have never used them but know people who have and they are said to be very helpful in times of such sorrow. I know that nothing in your previous life prepares you for such tragic loss, whatever the cause. So it should help to talk. This website is part of that!
