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 

  •  No not yet  I may have to I'm sure its because funeral is Thursday  with make it all so real 

  • The dr said to me she would not give me anything yet she said it's sometimes easier after the funeral but I don't know how that works 

  • I don't no how that works either it's so hard we're ever you turn you get hurt  it doesn't seem to matter we're you are  The grief gets you always! Like I said it's the funeral in 24 hours and I'm not ready to say good bye! Having said all that hope your having a good day  at least you have girl power  

  • We will never be ready to say goodbye, I said that to Lewis a lot, he was ready. 
     

    I don't know about this girl power, I put on a Wonder Woman t shirt and hope for the best. 
     

    sending you strength for tomorrow I will be thinking of you, you can do this, you will give your wife a wonderful send off, she will be lovely and comfortable in her clothes you picked and she will be forever loved by you and your children. 

  • Thank you for your kind words it's so hard  my old life has gone forever to !

  • I'm really don't understand why her  we are good people the kids need her 

  • This is really happening to me  I don't think are ever understand  why my wife was taken but she was so I guess  this is my live now  rubbish grieving all this grieving that's the hardest to deal with and being alone. You never have to say goodbye to Lewis  I don't want to say goodbye she is part of me now 

  • Hi Chris 

    I'm so dreadfully sorry to read your post, grief is a hard thing to cope with and I feel your pain of having the extra worry of the children coping. I lost my mum last February and I am not coping too well. No matter what people say or do it's still not helping me, all I can say is take each day as it comes, it does get slightly easier, I keep mums memory alive as much as I can, I'm finally strong enough to try something a little different and I'm going to create a memory box, I have also  started  to keep a diary which is something I haven't done for a very long time, it kinda lets my emotions out without feeling I need to burden anyone else with my moaning(I know friends and family would never see it as a burden nor moaning, it's just me). I was forced to sort mums stuff out very quickly as had to empty her house, but take your time dont rush it, I wish I stored it all and went through things a little slower now in hindsight. My 5 year old granddaughter still talks about great grandma. I thought she would forget her a little but her, her mum and me were such a close unit. Keep talking john, it does help, I'm finding talking to you a massive help too, I talk to mum too like she's still with me, I'm sure she's around quite a lot, I feel a funny feeling around me and feathering feeling on my lips as if she's kissing me, probably thinking,,, for gods sake stop crying lol. 
    Keep smiling, keep talking and embrace any offers of support from your friends and family. Take care and sending (( hugs))

  • Thank you for coming over to offer your support I'm also sorry for your loss.I bid everything with the wife now I'm so alone! I will bring the kids up the way my wife would want I love her so much always will. Like I said being alone sucks 

  • I'm here if you want to talk I got the funeral tomorrow more crying
