Thanks so much. I, like so many others, have lost the love of my life but cancer did not win. It didn’t break his spirit, it can’t  steal our memories and it will never destroy our love.

That's the spirit; bless you; nothing in the world could have destroyed the love you had and have.  Annie

Hay, my hunny ...

Just read your post ... I've been off a few days , so only just come back ... and I'm so so sorry ... I'm not surprised you feel him close still, as I did my mum ... like she was saying, I'm not there , I'm right here by you ... and I recon they stay close by , to help us through those raw days / weeks / months ...

So sending you a big hug ... Chrissie

Hello SusanRuth

Ive not posted on your thread before but I heard about your loss from Chrissie. My thoughts are with you. I firmly believe that love survives all the knocks the world can throw at us. Hold tightly onto that love and your husband will never be far away. 

Im sending a virtual squeeze from my hand to yours.

I just wanted to say I was very sad to hear your news SusanRuth that Steve passed away on Sunday morning. I remember your posts very well and was struck by how well you have looked after Steve. Sincere condolences on behalf of the Cancer Chat team and also to [@Loopy42]‍ we are so sorry for your loss too.

Warmest wishes and I hope this forum will give you a tiny bit of comfort during this difficult time.

I’m so sorry to hear this . My thoughts and prayers sending your way . So glad the end was peaceful xx

We can get through this one day at a time . Just think of the good times and surround yourself with people who love you xx always here if you need a chat 

Hi Susan

 I’m sorry to hear your news, my thoughts are with you at this awful time. It will start to get a bit easier i promise and you will start to have days without crying. You just have to start to rebuild your life when you feel ready. I’m just starting to realise that you can’t live your life in the past and keep thinking that they are still here and that you need to make a new life as rubbish as it is without them. Stay strong - I now you are strong as anyone who has watched their loved one fight cancer and stood alongside them is a true warrior! Sending you lots of love and hugs xxxx

 Hello darling, how are you? I hope all is “okay“. Your post reminded me of something somebody sent me in the week. I think it is so true not only for anyone fighting cancer but for those carers fighting alongside them. 

“A warrior is not someone who always wins, a warrior is someone who always fights“

Ruth,

Such sad news, but I’m glad Steve had the end of life experience you both planned.

Best wishes

Sorry to hear your news. My husband went through a Whipples op and thought he was OK but it came back just 3moths later. We tried chemo but it wasn't working. Told in September  only a few months left. I know how you feel. It is the hardest thing to try to carry on as normal. Some days I fail totally others are better. If your husband is strong and wants to do things try to support him as Chrissie says those good memories will help later. Don doesn't want to do anything and hasn't been out for 3 weeks. It is early days for you and the chemo works for many people. Keep the hope. With love and understanding of how you are feeling

Sue
