My wife whose very young at 33 has just been diagnosed with advanced stage Ovarian cancer this past week. We are in complete shock and I am feeling so anxious about now and the future. I am scared about a future without her, I am scared for my 8-year old son, I am totally in fear of losing her that I cannot bring myself to focus on caring for her right here right now. I have sleepless nights, I have poor appetite, I feel like this is a bad dream.
I take refuge in this great community, loving husbands united in our grieve, anger, sadness and hope. Can someone tell me what I should be focus on right now? How can I bring myself together and focus on helping her, rather than losing my mind worrying about what might happen in the future and what am going to do in the future without her…
Prayer for you all.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
