The waves of uncontrollable crying, the overwhelming feeling of a future I won’t have, the grieving before it’s ‘needed’ continues to creep in, the lonely nights and days although you have people, the regret, the guilt, the pain so deep you don’t even think it belongs to you, the horrific thoughts of them gone before they have feels like your cheating their life, thinking about funerals and what you could say to people is sickening but a reality so close and true, darkness feels darker, impossible situations to think about, thinking about how others will deal and cope too! 

‘enjoy yourselves whilst you can’ never helps does it when you can’t understand why someone doesn’t understand you anymore. 

being a human means these feelings come even when we know we shouldn’t be feeling them at certain times. 

my beautiful man doesn’t deserve this pain and neither do when our lives are just beginning in our 30s but I’m proud at how we are dealing with the card we’ve been dealt

On bad days I’m just so so glad he even entered my life, no matter how long that is for. we might not have babies or get married but smiling and sharing fun times is what we was given and I’ll accept that!!

it’s lonely but your strong, us other halves, gfs, wives, husbands, carers allow the emotion - sit with them - you got this x 

  • Thank you for this. Im a wife! I so relate. We got this xxxx

    Hello Minney, I heard and felt every word and emotion, my heart goes out to you, thank you for sharing your honest and strong words. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable cancer 10 days before Christmas, and now we are starting the battle for time, but it will never be enough compared the the future we'd planned it feels.  On my rational days, like you I'm grateful for the years I've been lucky enough to know and share my life with him, build a family and make so many memories, thats a privilidge compared to what some have in a lifetime.  I also try to tell myself if I spend my days grieving for a future which may not have happended as ideally as I imagine, then I'm missing the face that we still together right now, no-one has a guarantee of tomorrow.  However on my emotional days, I cry uncontrollably, wake up feeling panic immediately and am scared at a future without him, worrying about being enough and being around for our children.  I know its important that we let ourselves feel all of these emotions and accept that there is no right or wrong way to feel or deal with these impossible circumstances, reading posts from people who share some of my emotions and offer strengh and support, is so genuinely appreciated, thank you xx

  • Your words resonate with me completely! Only me and my little bro left now…and my little bro is being transferred to a hospice near me for his journey …heart is breaking xx

    Could have wrote that myself!!  
    You are enough and I bet an absolute angel in your children’s mind - it’s made me calmer knowing it’s not just me as there is a lot of pressure being on the other side of cancer! I think you’re just lovely let’s cheers to a bright and beautiful future - even if it looks different then we thought xx
