Sorry if this makes no sense just feel need to put something down. My wife’s only got months to live. I really cant cope with it. I’m having panic attacks and go out for drives to cry. I’m trying to be strong fir her but I just have no idea what to do, say etc to her. She’s so brave ,it makes me feel ashamed if I complain about anything or don t try to make her better . I just need some help I think
Hi and welcome to the community though so sorry to hear about your wife. Well done for reaching out here as we can all relate to what you say and to us your post makes perfect sense.
You might like to read some of our information on I'm looking after someone with cancer, I am sure you will relate to many things in there. This online fora is a great place to share but if you find something more face to face might work for you we have a tool in your area where you enter your postcode (and possibly that of the hospital) and you can find support groups local to you. If you need a quick fix too remember you can always ring the helpline here 0808 808 00 00, it is open 8am-8pm seven days a week.
Do speak to your GP too as they can support you so that you will be best able to support your wife. Have your wife had a needs assessment and you a carers assessment? These can be really helpful to make sure the right support is provided to you both.
<<hugs>>
Steve
