  • Hi Paulus, oh you're very welcome & thank you for your kind thoughts & your suggestion of black pepper & turmeric. I'll put that on my list to ask the Oncologist.

    Yes I agree that you shouldn't have had to keep reminding them of what should be second nature to them. I do have to wonder if they're so so busy that sometimes they don't have time to think. 

    Anyway, back to you Paulus. It will take time for you to be able to function 'properly' & even then a smell, song, film etc will bring it all back to some extent & at the moment I expect you're only reminded of how your poor wife was at the end. In time you'll be able to remember her properly with fondness & smile.

    I hope you're able to eat & sleep a little better as time goes on.

    Take care
