My husband died two weeks ago. When he went into hospital on Mar 24 we had no idea that he wouldn't come home again. From firm diagnosis to death was only two weeks. As recent as mid February we were still out on the bikes . I'm still struggling to come to terms I am sure everyone here has felt the same pain. My life is so empty without my soulmate. Friends who have been in the same boat are a comfort, as is family, although we don't have children. Reading other comments on here I thought it might help just to write it out.
I'm so very sorry for your loss believe me I know what you are going through. My partner passed last month and I feel like my world has come to an end. When my partner left our home the last time to go into hospital I had a feeling she wouldn't return to our home. And it felt like my whole world was falling apart. I was with her when she passed and my whole life fell apart. It has been nearly two months now and it still hurts so much she was my world, my lover, my best friend, she was my rock. But I still talk to her. And I know she is by my side no matter where I go and what I do, I know she is with me. She is at peace now after fighting eight long years.i know she will never leave my side and she is waiting for me so we can be forever together again. So you take care and remember he is with you xxx
I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. Two weeks was such a short time for you both. My husband was diagnosed with lung cancer on 8 April, then on the 9th we found it had spread to his brain, throat, lymph nodes, back, spine and stomach. They gave him 3 months without treatment. Up to a year or two with treatment. So he had radiotherapy and immunotherapy. He suffered terrible pain, and passed away 7 weeks after diagnosis. And that was with a week at home, where he had to crawl around as he couldn't walk. He passed away on 30 May.
I feel somehow diminished without him. We met and married in our 30's, and had 30 wonderful years together. Let us all hope we can get through each day. Remember the good times.
Hello there
Just to say I understand. My partner/friend of 38 years died two years ago. On the 30 th May. It is still not easy without him but we must keep going.
Yes, I too remember all the good times. The laughter and the love.
Take care of yourself now.
Hugs
