Hi I am new to the site.
I lost my fiancé back in may this year to cancer. He was only diagnosed at the start of the year and 5 months later her was gone. I am feeling lost without him as we have been together for 14 years he was my everything. I have recently been diagnosed with anxiety and been given medication to try and balance my seep and irritation and I am on the waiting for counselling.
Hi there most of us on here are in the same boat welcome to the site sorry for your problems At least your with people who have the same problems with anxiety I'm sure corners will be on soon

Hi Bella82,
I am so very sorry for your loss. It is so heart-breaking to lose the one person we love the most.
I lost my husband Paul, after we had been married only for two years and together for nine, in May of 2018.
I felt very lost and very lonely for a long time. But slowly, very slowly, I was able to see that I could learn to live with the pain. It will never be easy nor will it ever go away, but we will be able to live with it better as the time goes on.
Come on here as often as you like and read and share as much as you like. It is important to do this. It helps you to know that you are not alone.

I don't like the term "moving on" because it sounds to me like we are leaving our loved ones and the life we had with them behind. I like the term "moving forward" as it implies that, while life goes on, our loved ones are still with us in our hearts and minds.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
