My ex husband has just died of a brain tumour. The divorce was only finalised 3-4 months ago. The cancer was almost certainly there in the run up to the divorce and his behaviour certainly added to the events leading to the divorce.
I was a away when he collapsed and was rushed into hospital with the brain tumour. His family didn't let me visit or communicate with him in any way and I have been told that I don't/didn't need any information about his illness as I am not family-but an exwife.
I am so angry-angry at the cancer, angry at his family.
I am going to his funeral in the next few days as it will be my only chance to say Goodbye. I think the cancer caused the divorce, they think that I caused the cancer.

We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
