Struggling with death of my wife

Hi,my gorgeous wife died 3 weeks ago after a 10 month battle with bowel cancer.She was only 51 we had been together 28 years.I myseld had a 2 year battle with the same cancer but am now in remission.We have 2 beautiful grown up children but i feel everything is totally pointless without her and at the moment am not bothered if mine comes back.Does it ever get any bettet has anyone had a similar experience because I'm totally heartbroken.

  • Hi there ...so so sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment.... what a journey you have both been on ...

    You didn't loose your wife... she's right there tucked up safely in your heart.... you carry her with you .. and when you see your children, they are half of you both ... so there you are again ... I'm sure she would want you to carry on, and keep an eye on your children ... 

    It's like a book of life ... she was a huge chapter in that book .. now you are making a new one .. a new normal .. but you can always go back and read (remember) those chapters  ... there's so many on here,going through that pain ... and a lot more will follow ... you could hold their hands too, when you feel a little stronger ...

    We learn to live with our pain ... but we never stop missing them ... know your not alone ... Chrissie x
