My mum died at the end of July from colon cancer, she died at home with hospice at home support. Dad is also having palliative treatment for stage 4 prostate cancer, he's obviously struggling with his own illness and side effects from recently completed radiotherapy, but also the loss of his wife of almost 55 years.
I am looking for suggestions for support for him, l can speak with urology nurses re his illness, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience of service to support bereaved spouses?
Thankyou
