Losing my husband

I lost my lovely kind caring husband on the 1st of March 26 . He was diagnosed with cancer on 13th august 25 & given just 2 months to live . This was such a shock to us as we weren’t expecting that outcome. My husband survived 6 months with this awful disease . He passed away at home with me by his side. It’s been nearly 14 weeks since he passed away & I feel so lost without him. I feel like I’m just existing & not living . I cry myself to sleep every night & grief just overwhelms me . My home doesn’t feel like our home anymore. Most days I feel I just want to be with my husband as I feel I cannot live without him . Also my dear Dad passed away in November 25 ,just 4 months before my husband .

Hi Barb, I am so sorry to hear your pain. My wife died five months ago of bile duct cancer. She was given five months to live but fortunately managed to live two years. Even though I knew what was going to happen the pain when she died was unbearable. I had know idea you could feel so bad, it was like being ripped in two. I hope you find some solace here on this site where everyone understands what you are going through as they have all suffered and are suffering.
Wishing you all the strength you will need
All the best
Tom

I’m sorry for both your losses, you’ve barely had the chance to get over your dad then your husband. That is particularly cruel. I’m eight months in after losing my partner suddenly. I hope you have some support as grief can be relentless and all consuming. I wish I could say it will get better soon but it’s a long road.. don’t try to look to the future just take it day by day. Take care.
