My husband passed away 9 months ago with stomach cancer I am finding hard to cope with things
Hi Suzybob,
I am so very sorry for your loss.
There is no easy way to get through this, and no one-size-fits-all approach, we are all grieving differently for our loved ones.
Would you like to tell us a little bit about yourself? And about your husband and the circumstances of his death? And when you say you are finding it difficult to cope, could you tell us a little bit more about what exactly you mean/how you are experiencing life right now?
Lots of love
Mel
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.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
