Lost my wife to breast cancer

It's only been 2 week since I lost my beautiful loving wife to breast cancer, struggling is an understatement I'm up and down crying all the time, it's hard as I see everyone carrying on as normal and I'm struggling to carry on, we where together for 17 years and married for 13 and would of been 14 years this year, vicki was only 37 when she passed and we adopted twin girls who are 9 I feel a bit detached from them if that makes sense, vicki passed 9 days after my birthday and her funeral is going to be 6 day before her 38 birthday so it's going to be really hard celebrating future birthdays with what happened I just don't know where I go from here

  • Hello TrajanNinja

    I'm so very sorry to hear about the recent loss of your wife. It obviously has and continues to be an incredibly difficult time for you and all the family and I'm glad that you've reached out for support. 

    I'm sure some of our community members will stop by to post as well but I specifically wanted to reply to try and put you in touch with [@Chris2020]‍ who sadly lost his wife a few months ago and is now a single Dad to two children. You can read his story here and you'll find that there are lots of other members on that thread who have similar losses. 

    I also wanted to signpost you to an organisation called Cruse who are a bereavement charity. it may be that you want to explore arranging some emotional support for yourself and for the girls as well. 

    Keep in touch TrajanNinja. I'm sure the community will do its best to offer you some support along this journey. 

    Best wishes,

    It's been really hard as vicki was my world and knowing that she not here any more, I just feel lost and heart broken I'm trying to be strong enough for my girls but I'm struggling with it all
