Losing my wife at 32

Hello 

I lost my beautiful wife in Dec 2017 only 3 months after she fell ill with metastatic melanoma. She was only 32 and we had just celebrated our 1st anniversary. My wife went from fit, healthy and beautiful in Sept 2017 to not being able to walk by Christmas - I cannot understand the cruelty my wife faced. I know I have been trying to ignore my grief, but the pain and sadness is all consuming and I’m struggling now to cope with everything; my job, my friends and there lives, my family, my wife’s family - I am drowning in a world where everyone seems to be normal and my life isn’t anymore. I don’t want this life. 

My wife was amazing and we had such a happy life and future to look forward too - we’ve been robbed of that and now I’m just so sad. I don’t know how I’m supposed to cope now without her by my side.

  • Hi

    l am so sorry for your loss.

    I lost my wife on the 2nd July with metastatic bowel cancer she only lasted 3 weeks from diagnosis till passing with no previous symptoms. I am also lost and don’t want this life anymore but I have 3 children and a 3 day old granddaughter our first grandchild that my wife will never hold so I just go on day by day for them. My wife was 51 and I’m 52 we were together for 30 years and the loneliness and longing is overwhelming.

    take care William
