How do we all cope?

Hi

I would just like to introduce myself as I am new to this site (Didn't think I would ever become a member). I lost my fiance John 4 weeks ago today to a metastatic melanoma. He was diagnosed with skin cancer 18 months ago and he was in remission for a while. Unfortunately a secondary cancer had got back in and it spread to his brain. No one knew that he had this until the day that he passed away. John only suffered with headaches two weeks prior so it wasn't a major cause for concern.

I am struggling at the moment to carry on and I just wish that I could join him very selfish of me I know because I have a 4yr old son tha depends on me.

I just want to know if anyone has experienced/going through the same as me?..............

  • Hi Everyone

    I'm sorry that I haven't been on here for such a long time. It was John's 2nd anniversary in March and it was quite difficult for me. This past year I have been good and trying to move forwards. I have to some extent but I often have "wobbly" days. However, Rhys my 7yr old is the perfect tonic.

    I hope all my friends on here are well and life is treating them kind?

    Take care all

  • Ho Sarah,

    So nice to hear from you and glad you are keeping okay albeit with the wobbly days which are to be expected. Glad that Rhys is still keeping you smiling. Little ones do seem to be able to lift our spirits so easily. Take care, best wishes bieng sent your way, Brian

     

  • Hi Sarah

    Lovely to see your post and glad you are moving forward.  We all have those wobbly days (lost my hubby in January after his three year journey) but find comfort in good memories and the children keep us sane. Sendiing virtual hugs to you and Rhys.Jules x
