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 

  • I know exactly the thoughts and guilt you describe.  My mind races to things I don't want to think about.  Is that acceptance of what will come?  I just don't know but it makes me feel so guilty.  My mums breast cancer returned after 12 years and is Stage 4.  Has progressed very rapidly.  We're keeping going which seems wrong but what else do we do?  People ask how I am and truth is I haven't a clue.  She's my mum and I'm going to lose her and I'm terrified but I have to concentrate on caring for her (I'm an only child).  It's a real comfort to know others have similar feelings and thoughts

    I hear you, and totally relate. Husband diagnosed just before Xmas, treatment starting today. Totally overwhelmed trying to keep all the balls in the air and keep things normal for our daughter.

  • This is exactly how I feel. I spend nights awake scared for the future it brings to us and our children. 
    Struggling to accept and live every moment for each day, when we do I get dark thoughts come to mind and then my emotions are all over the place. 
    Life seems so cruel.

    Seeing posts from others with the same thoughts somehow brings some comfort in a strange way but nice to know we have support for each other. 

    Sending you all lots of love and strength to get through each stage xxx
