Mr Tough guy isn't..

My partner is currently in hospital with adenocarcinomo in her brain, she is seeing the Oncologist Tuesday and due to her condition and Covid19 I have had no contact (she is unable to remember the code fer her mobile phone) we are in Italy which just makes things worse communications wise as my medical Italian needs brushing up.

She has been given months to live and is not eating and very weak according to the hospital. 

I feel the grieving process has started already and I am vacillating between sobbing and cursing with very little else in between, things we discussed about my future post her are replaced with the idea I will not ever get over this and can't see a time when things will be OK.

I am very worried that when she comes home I will not be able to care for my girl properly..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi,

    None of us are tough guys under these circumstances, all we can do is keep our act together and do our best. Anticipatory grieving is a reality for so many people. 

    I'm rubbish at online support, but on a practical level why not just buy her a cheap phone and just set it up with no password or a simple easy to remember one?

    You will surprise yourself when she comes home, you'll be too busy to worry about things too much.

     

    Best wishes

    Dave

  • Thanks Dave, I understand the sentiment but sadly she seems to have lost the ability to do simple tasks and of course I can't get into the hospital to help her.

    But many thanks for the response.
