My beautiful wife

My beautiful wife sadly passed away on 22nd December 2020 after being diagnosed with bowel cancer in April 2020, we have been married for 31 years and been together for 35 years. Life is so difficult now and a big hole has been left in my heart. 
I am contacting the doctors today as after a lot of thoughts, my wife had been going to the doctors for over 2 years saying that she was always tired, feeling unwell and also pains in her right shoulder and also pain in her back around the liver area, the doctor came up with all sorts of things including being overweight and arthritis, only in March did they put her in for a non urgent scan, she was in so much pain that we ended up going to an emergency doctor that got her an emergency scan within 2 days and diagnosed cancer within 1 week, the cancer had already spread to her liver of which made her cancer untreatable 

I feel robbed by those doctors as if they had done their job properly and a scan maybe 18 months earlier and my wife would still be alive today 

I love my wife so much and find it so hard to keep going but I have 3 wonderful children and 3 lovely grandchildren that keep me from going mad 

  • Hi, so sorry for the loss of your wife.

    Just been reading above posts and im in exactly the same position. I lost my husband of 36 years in June to cancer and its still unbearable. I Hate coming home from work to an empty dark home and 8 months on still hasn't got any easier.  Yes time is a great healer they say but this is a long hard road to be on, i too have children and a grandchild so have to carry on for them but not easy. Is your counselling with Cruse? And glad you found it helpful. I havnt had any as yet but Ian died in Balby hospice and they gave me a number to contact if ever i needed it. Talking on here helps i think has we are all in the same situation. Covid restrictions hasn't  helped with not been able to see family and friends, makes it even lonelier. 

    Take care Debbie
