Losing my husband

My beautiful husband fought the evil disease cancer for over 2 years, we had been together for 52 years , I cared for him at home and my poor darling went from 14 stone to 5.5 stone , horrendous, I am still living in that nightmare, I lost him 5 months ago​:broken_heart::broken_heart: I miss him so much , it would have been better if I could have gone with him, but I have 2 children and 3 wonderful grandchildren who need their mom and nanny. So I have to live in a world without my heart :broken_heart: the pain is overwhelming.

Hello @Lesley57,

I can see that you’re new to the community, so I wanted to say that I am so sorry for the loss of your husband that brings you here.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that may help right now.

Thank you again for sharing – please keep reaching out and know that you are not alone.

Take care,
Seaneen

Jane64 i too lost my beloved husband on 23rd November 2024 to penile cancer, he had just turned 50 in June, we celebrated our 22 wedding anniversary on 19th October, 22nd October we found out he had cancer,he went to see his dr on 28th give him an update from leeds hospital, he was having trouble breathing by now and was sent to me our hospital for a scan (he never came home after that).
13th November we found out there was nothing they could do, it spread to his lungs. 19th November he moved to a hospice and 4 days later he passed away. I only had 4 weeks with him.
Now my life is empty and I miss him everyday.

Im so sorry for your loss

@Poppet1973 its so hard to go through all of this isn’t it. I have no words to take anyone’s pain away,wish I could but knowing others understand is a comfort. Take care
