lost my husband of almost 50 years 5 weeks ago only 8 weeks after diagnosis I have a wonderful family but can't see a life without him at the minute never felt such pain
I just wanted to stop by to welcome you to the forum and offer my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband.
I'm so sorry you're going through this and I can't begin to understand how painful this must be for you right now, but I hope you can take some comfort from the 50+ years you did have which I'm sure were filled with so many wonderful moments and happy times together.
We have some information on our website about coping with grief which I hope will be of some help to you at this time but I'm sure some of our lovely forum members will be along soon to offer their support as well.
For the moment, just concentrate on taking things a day at a time and remember that we will always be here when you need us.
I too lost my wonderful husband this year. Life is not the same without him and at present I hate it. He was my life and my whole world. We must try and walk on alone and feel blessed that we once had that love. Hope, like me the pain will soon subside
I'm going through chemo at the moment and have no idea what the future holds. I know if I lost my husband my world would crumble so I'm glad it's me with cancer and not him.
My approach is keep putting one foot in front of the other and live every day the best way I can.
In other words I've carried on as normal, still working, exercising and enjoying everything life has to give.
I know dogs arn't for everyone but a puppy can bring unexpected laughter and love which they give unreservedly, I certainly found this when I lost a close friend too early in his life.
Thank you for your kind wishes. The last 32 tablets to go and then I'm done - wooohooooooooooooo - 8 out of 8 treatments completed, I will be finished with Chemo Monday 27th May, it has been a long 6 months but a good learning curve, I realise there are so many MUCH braver people around coping with really tough circumstances, like you.
I really hope you manage to find some sunshine in every day, allbeit in the nicest cup of tea ever or a kind word from a friend, it will all help in time and it's so true that time heals, you're doing well reaching out, just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
