Not much time left

This is a purely selfish post. I am not bothered about dying, I am however so worried about my husband finding someone else. I love him so much I can't bear to think of him with anyone. 
he says he doesn't want anyone else, but I know it's inevitable. I can get no rest in mind because of this.

  • I don't think that you are selfish, I think that you have the right to your feelings, just as we all do.  I have stage 4 cancer, but I feel the exact opposite of how you feel.  I have told my husband that I want him to find someone else as I don't want him to be alone in the world.  Some people would perhaps say that I am 'wrong' or 'strange' for telling my husband this, but as I said, we all have the right to our own feelings.  Maybe it is not my place to say this, and I apologise if I am out of line here, but I think that you should try to enjoy the last weeks, months or years that you and your husband have left, and let the future take care of itself.  He will always love you, no matter what, and even if he does meet someone else after you are gone, that doesn't mean that he will stop lovong you. Take care, xx
