I / we are struggling to come to terms with my wife's diagnosis(yesterday). I admire my wife who seems to be coping slightly better than myself.
My best friend, wife, and mother to our beautiful daughter.
I am just trying to figure out how and what, I can be the best support I can be for her.
Also we are worried about having the difficult conversation with our daughter(11yrs). How it will effect her.
Having a roller coaster of emotions.
just getting quite overwhelmed with information, and struggling to pin-point at prioritise which is most important.
Any help or advice would be most welcome.
I appreciate that looking around these forums, that my wife may have been lucky not to have anything worse diagnosed, but any form is horrific and I admire all who are going through this journey and those who have come out the other side.
