Hi I'm recently widowed.  My wife and partner of 27yrs passed away on 19th July from stage 4 stomach cancer, that had spread to her stomach lining,  liver,  ovaries and spine. From her diagnosis to her passing was a very short 39 days. She left me and our 6 children. 

  • Hi , welcome to the Online Community, although I am sorry to see you finding us and so sorry to hear about your wife.

    Being the one with cancer I don't totally understand the journey you are on at the moment but I see that you have found and posted on our Bereaved Spouses Group. I am sure that some of these amazing folks will come along and give you some support.

    You may find our various Macmillan Support Line Services to be helpful - call them on 0808 808 00 00 This free service is mostly open 8.00 to 8.00 but check the link.

    Talking to people face to face can help a lot so check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area or a Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing.
