Hi Cardmaker 

Thanks for reaching out to us, my name’s Vicky and I’m a Support Advisor here at Macmillan.

I’m so sorry to hear about your husband Peter, that must be so incredibly difficult for you and it’s no wonder you might need a space where you can reach out to people who will understand a little of what you’re going through and I really hope you can find that here with us at Macmillan.

This Ask and Expert section is not really a forum as such, it’s more for asking a general question however there are a couple of forums that may be just what you need and I’ve linked them below for you so you can have a look. The forums are such a great place to get connect with others and we have Champions there too who are regular users who just keep a caring eye out to make sure that everyone's getting the right support they need and will help you to navigate the forum if you get stuck.

I also just want to remind you that we’re here on the support line, every single day, from 8am to 8pm, we’re here as a place you can contact privately and confidentially to talk through how you’re feeling and access emotional support.  You can call us on 0808 808 0000 or we’re also available to chat to too if you prefer.

I hope this information is of some help to you, and remember, you’re not alone in this, so please reach out to our Support Line and our forums whenever you need to.

 (I can see you've got two posts here in our Ask and Expert section so I'll repost this answer in your other one, I hope that's okay)

Kindest regards,

Hi Vicky,  Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
