Hi. My brave husband died 6 weeks ago after having a bone marrow transplant that was supposed to make him better. He was only 66. I have had treatment for breast cancer this year and have just finished my radiotherapy. We were supposed to both get better and enjoy a wonderful retirement. That has been stolen from me now and I feel lost, angry, and sometimes wonder how I will ever get through this. I feel utter despair and such great pain at his loss. I have to keep going for my family but I don’t know how.
