I lost my husband beginning of August. We had been together 21 years and got married last February. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in October and started chemo in January. He was doing so well but then took a turn and went downhill. Spent 2 weeks in hospital then was moved to hospice where he stayed for three weeks and passed away peacefully 5 days after his 66th birthday. My life feels so empty and I miss him so so much. I’m lost without him and he was my world.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I have this to come with my husband, it’s the biggest emotional rollercoaster the minute they get that diagnosis let alone after. Xx
