Hi and welcome to the carers group, though so sorry to hear about your husband.
Waiting is such a difficult time and it can seem like everything goes in to slow motion. You are so right that things can feel very lonely. Sometimes people will say things like "everything will be ok" or sometimes will even say nothing in case they upset us.
My life with cancer changed somewhat when I walked in to a Maggie's centre when I was at the end of my tether and everything just came pouring out - sometimes it seems strange that sharing with a complete stranger when I could not talk to my friends.
One of the great things I find with the community is that we can share here with people who just get it. I have met people on here with whom I share so much and I do not need to apologise when some days I might be a bit down.
Do post on here whenever, someone is always listening and definitely understand.
<<hugs>>
Steve
