My beautiful wife

I'm finding things so hard now without my wife at my side she passed on 23/08/2020 after a short time of only 7 weeks knowing she had cancer feels like I've been robbed of her and my world seems empty now I can't really cry as my children need me to be strong for them but I can't keep asking why a 54 year old was taken so quick I sit at home talking to her still as if she is there with me hardest thing is she was so brave through it all trying to protect me and the children from hurt she even held my hand and said ''don't worry we will be ok and I will fight this as hard as I can''and she did right up to the end she died at home with myself and the children holding her I know it's still early yet but I'm missing her so so much

  • Hi Mal1970,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear about your wife - I can only imagine how incredibly difficult this must be. I'm glad you found Cancer Chat and have been able to post here - hopefully you will soon receive further replies as I know there will be others here who have been through, or are going through, something similar.

    You mention needing to be strong for your children - that's important, but it's also important that you have space to grieve, to open up to others, to let out any emotion. Hopefully you have others around you who you can speak to about this. Either way, we're always here on this forum for support, or even if you just want to use it as a safe space to write anything down.

    It's very early days so I'm sure everything is a bit of a whirlwind of emotion at the moment. Take all the time you need and keep making sure to look after yourself too.

    Wishing you all the best and sending condolences at this time,
