  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about the lose of your partner, do accept my sincere condolences. 

    The death of a loved one can be so challenging but you may find talking with others who are walking the same type of journey may help you navigate this difficult time.

    The Community has many support groups and you may want to join our supportive Bereaved spouses and partners group as this will be a good place to connect with folks on the same pathway.

    This is all made worse with your own ongoing cancer journey, you may want to look through this list and choose the appropriate group for your type of cancer.

    To join a group just click on the link above then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens.

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘New Thread’ or hit the box with the X on the top right (phones), you could just copy and paste the text from this your first post. You can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    All the very best ((hugs))
