Hi I’m new here. My partner has just been diagnosed with stomach cancer. I am struggling to cope with the news. I suffered from anxiety and tinnitus. I have just folded up. I feel so weak and guilty that I can’t seem to cope. I desperately want to support her. She is the love of my life. But at times I don’t seem to be able to function. I can’t think straight I keep crying and my anxiety has hit the roof. I don’t know how to come to terms with this. My partner is so so strong but I feel so hopeless. She is my true love and I desperately want to help support and care for her when she comes out of hospital and positive advice would be truly appreciated

    Hi Steve,

    Don't beat yourself up my darling. Why would you feel any different? As you say, the love of your life has been given awful news.

    When she comes out of hospital, she doesn't need a superhero - she just needs you. Loads of cuddling and hand holding for the time being - but I'm here if you should like to rant and rave xx
