My darling wife Janice passed away on Thursday the 15 of December, She had suffered for a year with cancer. I am totally lost now. My youngest daughter has stayed with me since my wife died but now she is having to go home. I am in a panic at the thought of being on my own.

Hello Kevin
So sorry for the loss of your wife Janice and words seem so inadequate but Colin and Gemma have given such good, caring advice. And Gemma is so right, you are not alone - there are a last three people caring now and we don’t even know you yet.
I know my wife, Helen, is with me (she died of cancer too, 6 months after diagnosis, we had been married 46 years), not in a mystic way, but part of me and nothing can take the love Janice had for you away from you. It is a sign how much you loved each other that it is hurting so much now. I felt that I was going mad too for the first few weeks but I know now that is pretty “normal” for the state I was in and what you are feeling now - remember you have your daughters to care for and you to be a witness for the wonderful person Janice was.
Best wishes, Alan.
Hi again Kevin, meant to be on a P.S. about being scared and panic. Something I have done when I am suddenly attacked with panic is to say out loud “I am scared”, it may not work for you but I have found that it can scare the panic away, something akin to the old “shout at the devil”! Take care, Alan.
My daughter took me to the doctors and sat with me while I was checked over, im on tablets now.

I am talking to my wife, it helps but I keep getting into a saying sorry to her and crying loop.
