Widower - fell out with my children after my wife passed away

Since the loss of my wife I have fallen out with my children.

Basically over money and my will. I haven’t spoken to them for over a year and miss my grandchildren. Any thoughts?

  • Welcome to the forum, Traveller1.

    I'm sorry to hear about the strain in your relationship with your children after the loss of your wife. Family disagreements over money and wills can be tough, and it's natural to miss your grandchildren.

    Hopefully other Cancer Chat members with experience in such family matters will come along shortly to talk to you and offer advice but in the meantime you might want to consider reaching out to your children to express your feelings and desires for reconnecting, if you haven't done that yet. 

    I hope this situation improves soon, Traveller1. Last but not least, please know you're not alone, we're always here to listen if you need a chat.

    All the best,
