Lost my beloved wife Deb to cancer 11days ago. At the end it was quite sudden we thought we had a few more weeks We were soulmates and loved each other so much.
To say I am devastated is an understatement. She was only 55, we were semi retired and looking forward to the next 20-25 years together.
I miss her all the time and it feels so raw. Despite adult children, lovely grandkids, the years seem to stretch ahead endlessly.
@jonv I am so sorry that you have lost your beloved wife. I lost my husband suddenly and unexpectedly to undiagnosed kidney cancer. No chance to say I love you. He was 53 years old and working up to the day before.
Tomorrow is one year since I lost him. The rawness of the beginning has gone but I still cry often and miss him so much. Grief is like a roller coaster with waves. I was told not to think about the future as the future hasn’t arrived yet and we can’t control the future like we couldn’t control the past. Just take one hour at a time, baby steps. Cry and scream when you need to. Hopefully you have got support from family and friends. Big hugs xx

I lost my Wife 4 years ago to Ovarian cancer, she fought a brave 6 year battle passing away aged just 43.
I miss her so much and feel robbed, life is so cruel but I’m trying to life my best life. I dream about her every night which gives me great comfort.
Take care, be kind to yourself x

@jonv sorry for your loss. I can relate so much to say what you say. My husband passed away in April this year from cancer. It was also much quicker than we thought it would be and he had to be sedated as he was very agitated. I’m 56 and we had lots of plans for retirement, thinking we had at least another 20 years together. It’s hard to not feel cheated of the future we should have had. There are lots of people on this forum to chat too who really understand. Take care.
Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts

I can so relate to your story my partner was diagnosed with Glioblastoma grade 4 inoperable cancer he was 55. We had a lovely holiday in August best holiday we ever had then came back to him feeling not himself. So quick he went from not feeling all his left side to be so quickly bed bound he was such a fighter until the end. Even though we said all we had to say to each other it was heartbreaking and I will never be the same again. We had lots of lovely years ahead to spend time together as children all have partners and their own lives ahead. I am so thankful that I had him for 3 months more even though we were totally devastated knowing he was going to die he still worried about me every day. Hugs to everyone who is going through the same pain as me x
