So here we are talking about loosing each other. Why does this feel so normal in the 'bubble' of this Cancer World when all around us people are "normal" rushing around and taking their lives for granted?
Am I the only wife out there who is trying to collect memories like smell, touch, smiles and the strength of a cuddle from a Soul Mate the same way a collector would in refining the example until it is the most immaculate first edition ever......
The question is of course once I have these memories how will I make them last for the rest of my life and keep them pure in shape and form to share with our Grandchildren?
Finding out your Husband is diagnosed with Stage 4 Renal Cancer and its has metastasised to his lung is the most unreal and complex thing to cope with emotionally. The tumour has been removed having been peeled off his spleen and he looks so much better, so it would be easy to think he is well...........His not ...........how can wives cope with this loss, a daily loss that is so difficult to talk about.
To anyone reading this, I am sorry as I have probably made you cry too
