Thanks for your kind words Anita. My husband is on 6 monthly surveillance checks with oncology and his latest scan was clear. Fingers crossed this will continue.
Take care x

Thanks Woody.
I think you’re doing the right thing keeping your distance and protecting your peace. Grief knocks the stuffing out of you, saps your energy and you need to think about yourself. Not sit and listen to someone going on about themselves when they aren’t even considering how you feel right now. It’s called self care.
Other people on here have spoke about going along to a grief group. I myself found this so helpful. I was really feeling awful about 8 months after losing Mum, was trying to cope with looking after Dad from afar (I live 60 miles away). I was put in touch with a local grief group by my GP surgery’s social prescriber. It was good to be amongst other people who knew exactly how I was feeling. Nothing would bring my mum back, but the other people there knew about the pain of grief and we shared it over a cup of tea. I also had some 1:1 sessions with the lady who ran the group. Since my husband’s cancer diagnosis 2 years ago, I have been focusing on looking after him and our family and haven’t been going. But it’s the type of group that anyone can return to at any time, no pressure. Maybe something like this could help you too.
Take care of yourself x
