I just need help from anyone who may understand how I feel and any coping mechanisms. My 80 year young husband was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer on 14 October and now making his final journey in a nursing home. I am trying to come to terms with his not eating and very little actual conversation, but he is still the man I married when I was 23 years old. It's just tearing me up and especially as we were not blessed with children, I feel very lonely when I get home from seeing him and hate leaving him as there is no one who can look after him as well as I could is there? How can I live without him, we face the world together as a team. There must be lots of people who have been in this position, how did you ever get through it.  What can I do to help my husband Inlove him so.
