My partner died on April after  a 2yr battle with cancer .I'm saddened by some of the posts. I was able to care for my partner with the help of my 3 children until the last day,we have all tried to continue supporting each other but things have changed, in the last fee weeks the reality has really hit me and i struggle to do anything, my gp hasn't been helpful referring me to the local mental health team,i have deakt with them for years for a family member and they can't help. I would like to speak to someone with the experience of loss and caring for a loved one with cancer and be help to those who are affected now. My partner was a great dad and my friend and it was a privilege to care for him despite the tears and rows. I need to find a way for us all to move forward we will never forget him we have a lifetime of memories but day to day lifeis hardand would love advice on how to do it.

My sympathies and admiration to everyone who has gone through this

  • One day at a time is what my grief counsellor has tried to tell me.   That we have to go through the grief rather than try and avoid it.   I feel as if gone through hell this past 6 months as my partner died in April from liver cancer at age 54.      Be gentle with yourself and don’t force things.   Grief is the hardest thing you will face in your life.
