I sadly lost my husband 5 years ago he did not have cancer. We had been married for 46 years.

I took the plunge and met my close friend a widower on a dating website. We had a lovely 2 months and then he became ill. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

His daughters all lived abroad and sister in the north of England, I then became his Carer and took him to all Hosp appts, shopping, washing etc.

I did this for him as we both felt something for each other. One of his daughters came after he passed away and unfortunately did not want to meet me or involve me in anyway although I was thanked by text. I do not know what happened in friend’s family but as far as I am concerned that was nothing to do with me.

This very hard.

  • Hi  

    Sorry to hear about your husband and your friend, it sounds like you were incredibly supportive.

    Clearly there seems to have been something going on in his family. Perhaps I had something similar between my brother and his first wife but I have steered very much clear of wanting to know anything about that. 

    Glad to hear at least you got a thanks by text.
