Struggling with grief,

I lost my wife to cancer just 4 weeks ago, each day seems to be more difficult to deal with, we had been married for 45 years, my life feels so empty now,

  • Hello Briang,

    I also lost my wife to pancreatic cancer after a 46 year marriage, (meeting when we were mid teenagers). Life is empty and will be for your loss and nothing you do will be the same anymore. My wife died pre Covid and I didn’t want to go anywhere seeing people enjoying theirselves, and on the odd occasion when I joined my daughter and family out for a meal it was difficult as I felt on my own without my wife being there. I’m lucky that I have a great daughter and two Granddaughters that I spend a lot of time with but again it’s not the same anymore.

    Try to keep as busy as you can which will partially distract you from your grief and hopefully in time when the pain of your loss eases you will be able to cherish the long life you had together and keep those good memories.

    Best Wishes.
