Hello. I’m new to the community. 

it’s almost 12 months since I lost my wife, Ros to secondary breast cancer and it will soon be the first anniversary of my loss. 

anyone have any thoughts how I can remember Ros by?

i just don’t wish to spend the day being upset, although I know I will be. I’d like to honour her memory if I could. 

thanks 

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community, although I am am always sorry to see folks finding us and so sorry to hear about the death of your wife Ros.

    I have not been in your position but can totally see what you are trying to get your head round.

    Could I suggest talking with other people who are on the same type of journey will help a lot.

    The Community has various support groups so can I direct you to our Bereaved spouses and partners group as this is the place where you will connect with others walking the same journey.

    You can then introduce yourself and post questions selecting '+New' or '+' (depending on your device) you can also join in with existing discussions by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It’s always good to talk - our Macmillan Support Services provides lots of ways to connect. The service is open every day 8am to 8pm and it's free to call. Clicking here will give you more information.

    You can also email them, use the online chat and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    All the very best.
