How do you help someone that pushes you back.

Hi Ian.. My sister had cancer & passed away during covid.  She and I were shielding in my house during this horrible time.. I went to every consultation, every appointment and chemo session with her.. I thought I understood how she felt.  I have cancer myself now & realise I didn’t have a clue.

Everyone is different, but I’ve spoken to many lovely people with cancer now & I think we all had pretty much the same reaction to our diagnosis..

Being told you have cancer hits you like a brick. It brings out emotions you didn’t know you had and it’s terrifying.  It takes a lot of ‘digesting’ and even then you never actually ‘get used’ to the idea.   Your partner is very probably frightened out of her wits hun, all you can do is be there for her, hold her & let her talk xxx

Hi…I just take a deep breath and clean the house …it’s a horrible situation to be in , my hubby, some days, turns into this person that I don’t even know , he tells me that I don’t understand …REALLY ??? 
I find crying in the shower helps 

he’s pushed me away so many times that I sometimes wonder why on earth im still here with him …but…we carry on doing what , when and how every day …because we love them x
