Pauline was only 55 and a true inspiration fighting this disease not giving always pushing herself running, gym bunny even after chemotherapy sessions all with a smile on her face.
It’s now been just over 2 months since she has lost the fight I’m so lost without her we met when we were 17 so after 40 years together she was my true soul mate and missing her so much it hurts x

Dear Mccormack1966, I am so sorry about your loss. I lost my beloved husband this February so suddenly that I thought he died having a heart attack at home but it was undiagnosed advanced kidney cancer. I know that dreaded feeling of being completely lost, in constant pain, and crying most of the time. We were almost 26 years together and married for 15 years and two months. I am 62 and he was 65 years old. Our planned future is now shattered. Do you have family or friends who can support you? You are not alone in this forum because we lost all our loved ones. Sending you lots of love and hugs.

I was just reading your posts crying my heart out. I lost my wife last week to secondary breast cancer. She was 45 and her strength was incredible. I feel so empty it’s killing me😭
I have a 16 year old and an 11 year old and I have to do Hayley proud by looking after them. It’s what is keeping me going🥲

Sorry for the late reply but been a bit mad at the moment with trying to sort out funeral etc.

Had a look on the .gov site and I can’t get a thing unfortunately🤦♂️
Kev will be looking down on you thinking what a great job you are doing so don’t give up. Just concentrate on the kids as that’s what I am going to do.
Hayley went into hospital on Valentine’s Day and passed away 9 days later after everyone in the hospital telling me she was going to ok. It was then my birthday on the 3rd March and now Mother’s Day.
It definitely isn’t getting any easier….
