My friend has just lost her husband of this awful disease and three months ago he seemed completely healthy. They had only two months from diagnosis and some of that was spent in hospital. She is in shock. Perhaps they soften the blow by giving a good prognosis but gradually things have a way of becoming clearer. I know my friend's husband was offered treatment and expected more time but this illness is fast.

It is a struggle to come to terms with the loss of a beloved husband. Mine died eleven months ago and I still can't realise I will never see him again. Makes me feel I have never been supportive enough for others - it is true that we can't feel the grief until we have the experience ourselves. I wonder how long before I can talk about my husband without crying.

Good luck and don't feel bad. We have to deal with our grief in our own way.

I just feel so lost........But I know I have to carry on,not move on,

We do have to carry on and savour the lovely memories even though they make us cry.  There isn't much else we can do but make sure we talk about them to friends and family so they are not forgotten.

It's just SO unfair,life,never did I think when we were bopping to the Rolling Stones,that he would die and in such pain

It is unfair. I never saw myself as a widow. We had plans and I'm sure you did too.
