Hi all, my partner just lost his mother to Pancreatic Cancer. It all happened very quickly from diagnosis to when we lost her was only a couple of weeks. My partner is struggling to cope with his grief. I am trying to help and support him as best I can but he is taking all his anger and frustration out on me. It is putting enormous pressure on our relationship. Is anyone else going through this and can help please?
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is a supportive place to be.
I'm very sorry to read that your partner has just lost his mother and it sounds like an incredibly tough time for you both right now.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the bereaved family and friends group which is for anyone who has lost a family member or loved one to cancer to share their feelings and support one another
To join just click on the link I've created which will take you straight to the group where you can then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
This link will take you to a blog which explains how to get the best out of the online community but if you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
