Partner of thirty years, unexpected death

It was guilt thinking I could of done more. Like nag her more to get her new pains sorted out. She had fibromyalgia as well which we both blamed for the new pains she was getting. Turned out that the pains were her cancer. And by then it was already too late. But they lied and told us it was non aggressive knowing full well she was going to die. That was one of the apologies we got. It robbed us of time with her.

Put in a complaint with PALS as well

Ive put in a complaint with PALS and my solicitor has now received his medical records, ive told them we want an apology and not bothered about the money.
Im just looking for an apology, I’ve kept my promise to my husband and that’s all that matters

Seems as if we’ve all been failed in some capacity by the NHS the whole system is broken. We have all been left with what if’s. Unfortunately whatever we do now won’t bring them back :cry:

Yes she does as i keep saying people thinking having bereavement councillor it is worth giving it a change .well it is sort of working for me xx

I maybe would contemplate it in the future, but at the moment I am not ready to sit in front of someone and talk about Mark, its easier on here to talk to people who are having the same feelings of sadness and worry, but so glad it is working for you xx

I need to look into counselling do i just call the sue ryder team to arrange this and is there a long wait time?

I hope your second session went as well as it could

Totally i will look into pals and the advice of contacting our local MP

There is a bit of a waiting list at the moment, @Llw. You can apply for counselling on our website: Online Bereavement Counselling Service | Sue Ryder

Cruse has volunteers who offer bereavement support: Get support - Cruse Bereavement Support

Your GP can refer you to counselling, too.

Take care :blue_heart:
