My beautiful wife

It's been 2 weeks now since my wife died and I cannot get my head around it she passed only 7 weeks after finding out she had stage 4 colon cancer , my hardest thing right now is I'm full of guilt,and keep thinking that over the years I could of done more for her as in helping with house cleaning ,gardening etc but we all took it for granted she would clean,iron and cook etc and often she would say it wouldn't hurt you lot to just hoover the living room etc and we just shrugged it off now for whatever reason all I'm thinking about was what we never did to help her I don't know if this is part of grieving but it's tearing me apart knowing We should of helped more , when I took a week from work she ask simple little jobs my reply was I'm on a weeks break her reply and when do I get a break she was right and now I see that but it's all to late to change that I don't know how long this will last but I want to remember happier times but it's like my head won't allow me to as it's full of this guilt has anyone else experienced this as part of grieving 

thanks mal1970

  • I haven't experienced this but I know from a woman's perspective that we always nag for our partner to do things about the house but in reality we like to do it ourselves. Don't feel guilty - you were both a team and I am sure you helped her in a lot of other ways. Doing jobs around the house doesn't compare to the love and support I am sure you shown her.
