I haven't posted her in such a long time. And I feel bad for not doing so especially because I have said before that I would stay on this forum and contribute as much as I can.
I have been reading most of the posts here but then somehow never find the time or energy to respond.
But, almost two years on from Paul's passing, I am still here and I really want to help.
As some of you may remember, I lost my husband Paul to advanced prostate cancer in May of 2018. Since then, I have been a regular on the "Bereaved Spouse" forum, at first reading and sharing in order to learn to understand my grief but, more recently, really trying to help others who are not coping as well as I do (whatever that means).
I have stayed on this forum in the hope that my experience as a carer for my husband particularly in the last two years of his life would be of help to some.
And I am hoping that, from now on, I will be able to take more time to respond to your posts.
You are all doing the best you can under very difficult circumstances. I remember that, when I was in your situation, I often felt I wasn't doing enough, wasn't doing the right thing, should be able to do more or different things... But looking back today I can see that I did the best I could under the circumstances and with the knowledge and understanding I had at the time. You are doing really great.
Warm wishes to everyone on here,
Mel.
