Hello Sta1794,

I am so sorry for your loss - our sincere condolences from the Cancer Chat team. I can imagine this is all still very raw for you and what happened in such a short space of time must have come as a real shock to you and it is totally normal to be feeling heartbroken. We have information on our website on Coping with Grief which you can find here and which will describe in detail the different complex stages of the grieving process and how grieving is very personal and affects individuals differently.

If you feel that you need support or that you are struggling to cope in the coming weeks and months, don't hesitate to go and talk to your GP who will I am sure have some good suggestions for you to help you feel a little bit better during this difficult time. 

Sadly many of our members have also been affected by the loss of a loved one and understand exactly what you are going through at the moment. I hope you will hear from others who have been there before and that they will be along soon to share their experience with you. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
