I lost my best friend in July to bowel cancer. She faught her illness so bravely and I feel blessed to have been there for her. The anticipatory grief was hard even before she passed but this week I am struggling I miss her so much and feel really sad. Any advice on how to cope would be welcomed. My husband does not get it and if I am honest I think he feels some jealousy which is hard and sad. We have a strong marriage of 37 years he is just not good showing emotion.
