Lost my wife of 28 years yesterday to cancer, cared for her at home until she passed which was very hard as she was in a lot of pain and the cancer spread from her lungs, liver then to her brain and bones . She eventually stopped swallowing the liquid mophine and had to rely on district nurse to attend to administer injections. Feel totally numb and alone even though l have grown up son and 3 daughters helping me. Trying to be strong for them but so hard as my wife was a one off person who was always smiling.Killing me knowing that l will never see that smile again.

Soo sorry you had to watch your wife suffer I had to do the same for my husband who died in pain 29th May. I am still numb to be honest and feel I am stuck in grief. To watch Simon die that way begging me to help was awful we ended up in hospice but Cancer was everyone at this stage and his small bowel blocked he was 58. My adult children seem to be getting on with their lives and they know I am here alone but I pretend I am coping trust me I am not I miss him soo much sending you my hugs

Mickq,
I am sorry you are now on this path. I am 9 months on this path. I also lost my Sue to cancer. The main thing is to look after yourself, these are hard eat, drink water(if you are crying a lot you will be dehydrated) and sleep. I know these are hard trust me. If you have support please use it. Rant or ramble on here it helps .
Take care,please look after yourself.
