i have never posted on a website before and am not even a member of Facebook. My husband was diagnosed with cancer of the bile duct 7 weeks ago and is fading fast. I feel devestatingly alone as we’ve had the type of marriage where we did nearly everything together, we’ve got on well, shared similar interests and as a result not bothered to make friends. I have a 30year old son and a 26 year old daughter who are wonderful but one lives in Nottingham, the other in London and I live in Dorset. I would very much like to connect with someone who is losing or has lost their loved one recently as I feel I would just love that connection right now as nobody else can really understand what I’m going through. I’m living a surreal life of going the hospice every day and see a slight decline every day and when I get home I can’t wait to have a couple of glasses of wine to unwind. I know when he goes there’s going to be an enormous void in my life and I’m starting to think of ways I might fill some of the time but I know it’ll be the silence of not having your soulmate around to talk to and only one close girlfriend but I tell myself that st least I do have a support group albeit small. But I thought I’d post and see if anyone out there can identify with where I’m at.
