Hi guys ,
looking for any advice/ help.
my mother in law has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer.my wife and her mum are inseparable.
Since finding out my partner has been struggling coping with the news.
In between going with her mum to appointments and looking after her ,she has been struggling to work without being upset, feeling numb and just wanting to sleep and do nothing and been having night terrors waking up uncontrollably crying but as come to the point I worry about her wellbeing
I love and support my wife and trying to listen and talk , comforting her while taking time off as she going through this time, it’s completely breaking my heart watching her go through this, I feel useless.
just looking to be pointed into right direction , advice if anyone has experienced this , anything would help alot
i want to help her get through this and get the right support needed during this difficult time
Thank you x
