Hi, I lost my husband 5 weeks ago, he was only 52. He had a terminal illness so we knew it would take him, and it was so hard going through all the treatments and watching the decline, I just find it so heartbreaking to believe I wont see him again as we were married 25 years. I find it really difficult to relate to people as most people in this age group have their partners, its so unfair. The pain for the person left behind is just so tough which nothing prepares you for.

Hello Redsky!
I am so sorry for your loss and I get what you are saying. I lost my husband almost 2 and a half years ago to bowel cancer. He had been in remission for 5 months and it came back for him. Yes I get that going through all the treatments and watching them become a shadow of the person they were. My husband was a big bear of a man and watching him become reduced to what he was in the end was heart breaking. He got sepsis 4 times and it was on the 4th along with his advancing cancer that finally took him. We were together for 40 years and its a shock to the system when that one constant isn’t at your side anymore. I just feel invisible some days as though I am just existing and going through the motions now. You will get through it though I can’t tell you when though because it is still very early days for you and everything will still be very raw for you just now but you will know yourself when you feel you are moving forwards because we all grieve at different paces. My best wishes to you.

Grief is such a hard part of life. I lost my wife 5 years ago, I went to wake her up and she had passed away. I stood there calling her name and then thought I was having a nightmare but it was reality. I feel guilty she died on her own and I couldn’t be with her. Our bedroom is now just a junk room. I can’t even bare to go in.
So very sorry, I lost my husband 5 weeks ago the pain is horrendous, sending hugs x
