I lost my wife to cancer

My wonderful wife went into hospital for an operation, she was supposed to be in for 7 to 10 days for a treatable,curable cancer. I was by her side every day for 3 months before I lost the most perfect person in the world. I can’t stop crying, I miss her every minute of every day.

Hello Jima, so sorry for the loss of your wife, I know how you feel, all these emotions coming to the surface all at once, profound sadness, anger, confusion, .. I get it, I took my husband to the hospital because I thought he needed emergency dialysis, which he did, but there was more, he had pneumonia, was septic, fevers every night. They took him to icu during the night, intubated and sedated. I never had another conversation with him. He went into a coma, with no hope of waking up. We took him off life support, he passed 2 days later. That has been the worst day of my life, to see my beautiful husband take his last breath. That was almost 9 weeks ago. I have slowly been trying to do more things outside the home, which in reality is my only comfort, just being at home, I feel close to my husband, please take care and God bless you

Dear @Jima ,

I’m awfully sorry for your loss, this is the most horrible thing that could happen to a person.

Especially during the first weeks after losing the most beloved person so many emotions are swirling around in the mind.

Grieving for the most beloved person is a very hard uphill struggle but, as time passes, things will slowly get a bit better.

The very bad days will become less frequent, but it does take time.

Sending some strength your way!

Kind regards - Joe
