I lost my husband just over 6 yrs ago I would like to tell you it gets easier but I’m afraid it certainly doesn’t, he died so suddenly without warning at 52 yrs old
My grandson of 3 was then 6 months later diagnosed with a rare brain tumour he had to endure 6 months of chemotherapy and the radiotherapy
Life has been pretty tough to say the least
I now suffer with ptsd through the shocks mental health and so on
My life feels over some days

Hi Nicky I’m really sorry to hear the horrific situation you’ve been though. I can understand how this must of effected you. My wife died of cancer on Christmas day after a two year struggle and I’ll always remember my little cousin who died of cancer at the age of seven after spending his whole life in and out of hospital. It’s a terrible disease and we don’t seem to get any better at dealing with it. Have you been recieving any counselling for all of these questions. It’s not surprising you have such issues after grieving like this.
Wishing you all the strength you need
Tom
