Just feeling really down atm, stopped work on 19/11 when told my husbands cancer was terminal and only had a few months left together, just been told I’m being made redundant think it’s because boss doesn’t want to pay me sick pay for 6 months I have only worked there 20 months so no redundancy pay. On top of that not one “friend” has followed through with if you need anything I just feel so alone I go out with my two retrievers for walks to find myself crying because I feel so sorry for me . I have been married 39 years on 29th January and I don’t want to live without him. Sorry for moaning but I’m so sad

Hey Chillipepper36, So sorry you are feeling so sad. Just know that you have come to the right place....... We are all here for you, you are not alone. And please don't see it as a moan because it isn't .... it's how you feel which is natural.

Hello, it's awful. My wife was diagnosed with advanced stage four cancer in October and its totally broken our world. Talking does help but this is going to be a tough journey. Take care

Hey Chillipepper,

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. This is tough. I know for me, this is the hardest time I have ever had in my life, truly. We have been married almost 24 years, and I too gave up work late November. I work for the NHS and couldn't go on. I work full time and coming home to my husband who is really just too ill to manage anymore. It happened gradually and I held my ground as I like what I do and can be myself. Whereas now life is pretty lonely. He is in bed 22 hours a day. It's rough! Please know you are not alone. I find this forum really helpful cause none of my friends understand.

It's okay to cry. I find that meditation app Calm helps me some nights- and other simple things for me.

And the dog walking gets me out. I get it.

Take good care- we are here.
