My wife of 49years died 6th December from lung cancer which had spread to her bones,no family near by finding it hard to cope crying all the time missing her,she was my life loved her so much funeral this week.
is great for talking and telling how you feel. I know your wife is still with you. Reach out. Maybe talk with your doctor on how u feel. Reach out to love ones. Thinking of you and prayers for you
I'm so sorry for your loss. My mum passed away on 7th December and her and my dad had been married 50 years this year.
It's such a sad time and I know how difficult it is.
Are you able to stay in touch with your family over the phone or by video call?
My dad is missing my mum lots and very tearful but he has found going through old photos and remembering the happy memories helpful. He's made one of the bedrooms into a sitting room with her special things in there and some lovely photos. It really feels she is still around in the house. I'm sure your wife is still around you too.
My friends who have been through loss of such a close relative have told me to take it hour by hour, just concentrate on what you need to do then and there to get you through the day. Take it one day at a time and eventually things start to feel more comfortable.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my husband to lung cancer on the 9/9/19 after being diagnosed in June 2019 this came as a complete shock as he was only 54 fit and healthy. We have been together for 26yrs married 19 yrs. we have two amazing children my daughter was aged 15yrs and my son 18yrs . It’s has been really tough as we are such a close family . This was such a sudden death so we were not prepared also the doctors kept putting it down to infection then virus until it was too late ! I know I am a year down the line but it gets a little easier you just learn to live with yourself and take each day as it comes. But this is also a difficult time with Covid around but just use this time to gather your thoughts but try and keep busy too some how. I have got a puppy and she is the best . How long had you been together ?have you got any children? Take care you can message me anytime too
I know there aren't any words that can get anywhere near how you feel Michael....just wanted to say in this grim world there will be many people who understand how harsh losing your wife is.... how devastating it is....
I think it is helpful to talk about your dear wife to others. Keep her alive in that way. Share the person she was (and will always be in your heart)
I also suggest you seek professional support through agencies such as Cruse. They are a big help. They operate in many areas, but if not in your area there will be other providers of bereavement support.
I would like to thank everyone for there kind words and support, its been a great help the funeral is this week which i am dreading i don't know how im going to hold myself together i think i still can't believe she not here any more.
Hi I lost my husband after 35 years in late august.you will get through the funeral although it will be hard . However for me it wasn't as hard as diagnosis, I remember screaming so much my heart broke then , I knew there would be no good outcome. I send you a big hug to get through the day and the following days and weeks
Hi I lost my mum 2 yrs ago to liver cancer that spread to her lungs and brain.she was diagnosed in February and died in August it does get easier with time you never forget them I wish you all the best with the funeral as you lay your wife to rest.
