My husband is on end of life care, he has advanced prostate cancer that has metastesised into his spine. There is nothing that can be done for him as it is late diagnosed. He’s never been ill in his life and is ex army. Suddenly, we have been thrown j to a new way of living with no warning, and even though I’ve spent 30 years in the caring profession, I am so overwhelmed! I’ve had to give up work and I feel like everything is now down to me. We have no support or at least very little from friends who check in, but can’t really help. All I can feel is numbness and this overwhelming feeling. I know what advise I would give to someone else and I’m trying to be rational, but I’m struggling .
I am deeply sorry for your loss, even though he was silently sleeping, he knew you were there and how much he was loved. Grieve slowly at your own pace, yes you will have to be strong, but for now be at one with your heart
