Following my husbands terminal diagnosis i am on the one hand wanting to make the most of every second with him but as I’m struggling seeing him in pain i find myself sitting in another room
I feel so guilty about this and feel im being a right coward
Has anyone else felt like this?
Hi
Seeing a loved one suffering is incredible hard at the best of times and even more so if we feel there is little we can do. I am sure he too is worried about you too and perhaps might be uncomfortable seeing you so concerned. Add coronavirus in to the mix where many of the support channels are not functioning exactly normally at the moment and things can get much more difficult - so no you are not a coward.
You might find some help in our Looking after someone with cancer pages especially around the emotional impact on you. Perhaps the single most important thing a carer needs to remember is to be kind to themselves.
<<hugs>>
