My wonderful partner

My partner was diagnosed with lung cancer on September 24th, he died on October 18th, 2 days after his birthday and 10 days after our son turned 12. My life is a living nightmare now, I am  only sleeping 2 hours a night and trying to hold it together for my son. My partner suffered terribly from May to September  and we had to watch him yell in pain,  we went to so many appointments and nobody picked the cancer up until it was too late, our family is broken.

  • Ime so sorry its  the worst anguish pain imaginable maybe would help if you had a word with gp they may be able to give you something to give you a few proper nights sleep would you like to tell us about yourself and what happend it helps to talk .and ime happy to listen ive been through it myself 15 months ago are you sleeping on the couch because to many memories in your bedroom i took everything out of bedroom pics memorabilia everything so i could at least get some peace from the constant reminders ive slowly brought a few out now as the months go by .

  • Thank you for your reply, I cant move anything yet, his toothbrush,  razor and everything is where they  have always been . I do go to bed and I fall asleep quite quickly, i just cant stay asleep. I am heartbroken he has died , but I am tormented by the suffering he endured, if he was going to get cancer that's how it is, but I took him for help so many times,  nothing was picked up, yet it had spread so much. I stood crying telling the gp that if he'd been my dog I would be in prison for letting it suffer so badly. I feel we were robbed of a beautiful  man who could of had a better quality of life until the end. Instead my son had to watch his dad yell in pain, it's been brutal.

  • Ims sorry yes it is brutal . In your case a shock to . Dont worry about the way your feeling its normal we have to just do what we thinks right .i even broke up lizs lizs wardrobe so no one could put there clothes in it we all do it diffrently .but it slowly gets easier all you can do is just one day at a time get some counciling we need to talk about it like your talking to me its like emptying a bottal of grief .
