Hi Victoria

i am so sorry about your husband. 
My husband died on the 19th April this year after being diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer in August 19. 

My husband was 58, we had been together for 32 years and have 2 daughters 25 and 28. We were really happy and loved our life together, we were very lucky. 
I have good friends but none of them have experienced this and although I can talk to them I don't want to depress them. I don't think anyone can truly understand unless it's happened to  them. 
I would find it helpful to talk too

Hello Amanda,

I am so sorry to hear about your husband's passing recently. I fully understand what you're going through and it's probably nothing like what you expected.

I can only speak about how I feel because I lost my gorgeous wife in 2018. 
Do you find that you just somehow get through the day? And take a day at a time? I know my wife's passing is over two years ago but I don't feel any different now to day one. I have written down some of my feelings which I sometimes look at or add to. So enough about me how are you coping and your children? I would like to hear from you at your convenience.

Hi all.

Haven't been on here for a while, but it is World Mental Health Day today, and thought I would catch up with like-minded people who are going through the same horrible situation as me.

Victoria and Amanda, I lost my husband two years ago to non-small cell lung cancer (very fit man who never smoked in his life) and it is still as raw now as it was back then.  He was taken away to the hospital on 8 October 2018 and didn't come back.

I can only say, do what it takes to get through each day to live this "new life" that none of us want to be living in.

Chris has already mentioned that you can message him, or message me if I can be of any support to you and yours at this time.

Thinking of you all.

Hello June
