Drowning

My husband died 7 years ago (at 44)

I was then supported by a great friend who became a lover.  And the love of my life.  He’s had a stage IV diagnosis since June and has 6-12 months left.

Hes amazing and positive, despite overdoses and set backs.

I want to scream and cry .... how do I keep going? And how will I keep going when he’s gone?!

  • Hello,

    I don’t have any particularly amazing advice but reading this I can understand how strong you have had to be for so long, I want you to think about how much you’ve had to go through and how you’re still here today and doing great. 

    I’m so sorry about your friends diagnosis, know that they will be thinking about you too and they know how strong you can be- use this to fire everything you do, you will both need support so join support groups, perhaps attend his hospice days with him (if he plans on going into a hospice) meet new people who need support too and build yourself a network of people that appreciate you both and can help you when your friend crosses the rainbow bridge

    You are strong and you CAN do this.

    Our thoughts are with you Xx
