This morning I sat with my husband as he took his last breath. We have been together 30 years He had been diagnosed in September and was too advanced for surgery so endured 6 rounds of chemo to try delay the inevitable But it didn't. And this morning after sitting at his bedside for 2 weeks my beautiful husband was taken away. He's gone. Goodbye my love No more pain or fear. Xxxxxxxxx

Thank you for your lovely message. I'm so sorry you are in this same devastating place as I am. So you lost your husband just on Friday . My husband was 58 and had oesophageal cancer. It's our 28th wedding anniversary on Friday And I'll be without him Your pain will be so raw June. Had he been poorly long and how old was he ? I'm so sorry we are sharing the same heartache

My husband was 64, he had brain cancer which was diagnosed on 31st October 2018. He had part of one tumour removed in November then Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in January/February. He just got weaker and weaker. He had no quality of life really since Christmas, it was so hard for him as he'd always been very active. We had been married 22 years, together for nearly 25 years.
I am so sorry you will not be with your husband on your anniversary, it hurts so much doesn't it? I am here if you want to express your feelings, if it helps at all. I'm sure it will be a long road for us and anyone else on this journey. I am trying to focus on all of the happy memories but then it just hits me and I crumple.
Love and hugs

Dear Totallylost, My heart is breaking for your sad loss. I myself am waiting for the inevitable with my wife. She has Advanced Small cell Lung Cancer and they are keeping her alive with chemo.
Take comfort in the memories that you have and don't let anything block these. Your'e husband will be with you in your heart and will follow you and guide you. If you have you tube, look up Dancing In The Sky by Danni and Lizzie, it may be a bit of comfort in the words they sing.
Be strong and God Bless You.
John
