My wife had a colonoscopy a few days ago, they said they found a blockage that they said is cancer, they seemed pretty sure, obviously its now tests etc etc
I am struggling to manage my emotions, out of nowhere I'll start crying, and I'm finding I want to be with my wife all the time, but at the same time that's what makes me emotional, I know seeing me upset upsets her but sometimes I can't control it.
It just feels there's so much dread in our future, telling the kids, getting the results, dealing with treatment
I just wish it was me, it kills me not to be able to protect her
How do you cope?
Hi Governor
Sorry to hear about your wife, your reaction however is just totally normal - we all recognize what you are going through and indeed if things were reversed I am sure your wife would probably be very similar to you.
Since you talk of kids it can be helpful to look at talking to children and teenagers - it is not easy but often better to include them early.
<<hugs>>
