Hello, 

I lost my to be wife after a 6 year battle just weeks after we first met she had throat cancer and soon after had to have a tracheotomy fitted. We got the all clear and planned our lives with our children to get married unfortunately we put this on hold for chemo which was meant to be September last year unfortunately the cancer spread and with all the help in the world of the Christy hospital she passed away in March. 

i was trying so hard to cope and get up everyday managed to get through Christmas Day because of the kids strength, but new year kicked the wind out of me and has effected me massively. 

i did everything possible to look after her right until the very end when it was just me and her but I feel selfish that I’m struggling with it all specially for the children.

  • Of course you're struggling: so are the rest of us in the same situation. Christmas seems to be a particular pressure point, especially  if you have children. Be kind to yourself. Those of us here know what you are going through.
