Hello all. My wife has been fighting cancer for the last five years. Three days ago we were told she may only have weeks left. She came home yesterday but is residing in a local hospice. We have two boys aged 18 and 16. Our youngest son is 17 this month. We are trying to support each other but our world is broken. People tell me to be strong for the boys . . I'm desperate. I don't think I will get through this. I can't see my life without her. I'm living in a world of pain. I don't want to wake up in the mornings. I need help.

Hi Brian Boru welcome to the forum and I am so very sorry to hear about this news about your wife. It is little wonder that you are in pieces and thats ok it s allowed so don't be too hard on yourself there is no right or wrong way to deal with any of this .

It does sound like it would be helpful if you have a chat with someone and I wonder if you feel able to give the Macmillan Line a call as they have people that you can speak with and just be there for you. You will get through this but you do need someone to help you put things into perspective at the moment and it is hard and will be harder but you will get through so please pick up the phone and have a chat with them at Macmillan. 08088080000.

Hi Gail, I did speak to someone this morning, but I will give them another call later. I'm sitting at home talking to my youngest son. The pain is so bad I don't see myself making it. I'm not eating, I can't do anything. My world is falling apart. There is no future. I'm desperate !!!!
