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 

  • Are you ok I've been thinking about you ?

  • Yeah

    I went for a walk in a park today while the funeral was happening. There were lots of dogs walking round having fun, Lewis loves dogs. 
    I went to the grave side after it was all done, I had a voicemail from my mum asking if I was ok they were at my flat and saw I was not there, I text her to say I was ok.

    I spent over an hour at his graveside, I stayed while the man filled in the hole, he was nice he had I'd I have to use a digger I said that's fine Lewis liked diggers, I arranged the flowers in the top and left him some of his favourite chocolates. I played all his favourite music and just sat there with him. 
     

    I'm at his brothers house where all his family are, I did not want to come but I did. I gave his mum this bracelet I bought her with crystals on for healing and as worry beads also a small gemstone heart, Lewis has one in his pocket so I gave another to her to keep. 
     

    It's sad it's like it's over now apparently the ac/dc song I picked at the end was a good choice for him, just as well as it's the only choice I was given. 

  • I'm glad you went in to there house  well done wonder woman  I'm proud of you!!!lewis would be happy to his dream girl was there on this important day 

  • Are you ok?  I've been on YouTube and found this Mat Fraser he is a medium But all the free stuff he puts online seems really interesting and has definitely made me believe in heaven  and life on the other side 

  • Yes I've thought about them it would be good to go to like a physcic event thing if there even will be such a thing in the future. I would like to know that he's ok. 

  • Hi Chris,

     

    I know you are engulfed in pain right now, but I want you to know that life does continue. Your wife said so herself, LIVE your life, see beauty in things around you. I know it must be a touchy subject and I do not want to be inappropriate, but you will be able to meet someone new in the future once you have healed. At the end of the day, we are human beings who need companionship, don't feel guilty for needing that. Don't think your life has ended just because your wife's was cut short, LIVE and carry her spirit with you through it.

     

    Sending you lots of love

  • Hi Meg thank you for sending me a message I known your right and I'm starting to feel that way  like as it's nearly spring time the flowers are starting to come out The birds and animal seem to be that little bit braver! My wife even told me to find happiness again on the kind of man who made that but at the moment I couldn't think of anything worse than sharing my bed with somebody else But then at the same time I would love to cuddle someone again! I guess I just want to feel loved again needed sense! At the moment All I really want is my wife even though I can't have her again I know she's always on my shoulder. I guess when the grief monster comes I just want to give me a good kicking 

  • It's so good to hear you say that! Always bear in mind that you have a future a head of you, and there will be love in that future, I can guarantee it. Little by little, allow yourself to enjoy life, there is so much to enjoy, you can take your kids travelling, experience amazing food, dance, and you never know you might just fall in love again. Spring is here soon, and we will be coming out of lockdown soon too, get yourself out there and enjoy life! Always with her beside you

     

    Lots of love,

    Meg x

But I guess there's nothing I can do about that just try and move forward through this grief thank you for the kind words x
