I found out that my sister had cancer in November, two weeks later she had died. It was a shock. She lived in the USA. There’s going to be a memorial for her at the end of this month. Unfortunately my brother and I can’t go.
I am feeling angry at the moment cos I am feeling unsupported by my husband. He has said that he is struggling with it and it has stirred up some un-resolved grief over his mother and father.
I am trying to support him especially because he does not usually show his feelings. But I really want to be looked after, cooked for and asked how I’m doing. We have both also been unwell with bad colds so neither of us has had any energy lately.
Also my daughter’s dog who we often looked after and I considered my second dog, died of cancer in June this year and I am still mourning him.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
