HI Kikidotty welcome to the forum and I am so very sorry to hear how much you are struggling. You will be amazed how you will cope and people will be there to help as much as they can do you have any family that are nearby that you can talk with about all this?
If you dont have anyone that you could talk with please think about picking up the phone to speak to someone at Macmillan as they have people who can offer support and to point you in the direction of further support and help for you both. None of what is happening for you is easy and you wouldn't be human if you weren't a little scared. Macmillan Line is freephone 08088080000.
