Lost my wife to Brest cancer 5 days ago age39

Never done anything like this  before but been told talking can help. I lost my wife 5 days ago  wife was only 39 she left behind two young boys ages 9 and 2  she had Brest cancer  and after a long battle she lost the fight. Now it's just   me I some how have to be a mum  and dad and keeping strong for the kids  with all the mummy in hevan  and will always be with us but all I want  to do is to kiss her lips and cuddle once more.     29/12/20 day 8  of this nightmare children seem to be dealing with all this ok ish! 2 year old asked for mummy ever time the phone rings had to bath him without mummy for the first time  that was very hard but I think harder for me than him 9 year old very quiet always playing mine craft  but does stop and talk  about mummy when feeling sad with is hard but lovely at the same time. Going forward I'm thinking of doing a memory jar  so we can Remember things  about  mummy not sure what else I can do? 9/2/21 sorted all the funeral stuff out music photos etc not a job anymore want to do  it's all just a daze! Sometimes at night I here her talking to me  so I sleep well and morning comes and I'm hit by that train again  just going round and round

    I couldn't read your post without stopping by to offer condolences on behalf of the whole Cancer Chat team at the loss of your wife. It must be an incredibly difficult time for you and for your boys and I hope that you have friends and family around who are able to offer support. 

    I also wanted to try and put you in touch with [@Bistokid79]‍ who recently lost his wife and has a 3 year old daughter. You can read his thread here. He may respond as I've tagged him into my reply here but you may also want to post a response on his thread and hopefully the two of you will be able to talk and support each other. 

    I know that many of our members here will understand the pain that losing a loved one can cause and I'm sure they will stop by to share their support with you too. 

    You might like to have a look at the Cruse website at some point too. They are a charity that offers bereavement support to both adults and children. It may be useful if you find that your boys, particularly your elders, need some support with all that has happened. 

    Keep in touch Chris. As you say, talking does help and we will do our best to support you. 

    Best wishes,
