I know that today is a low day but I'm struggling to see how I can keep going. My partner had his first treatment this week for melanoma that has metastasised to his lungs. He is exhausted. But so am I. I'm trying to stay positive for our sons and make sure they keep living their lives but when they're not home it's so hard for me. I don't have the energy to do anything and the limbo that is our lives now seems endless. I know all the things I should be doing but today I'm lacking the energy to do them. Where do people find their strength from?
