Hi Everyone 

I am new here

I have just today learnt that my boyfriend has terminal cancer (he is 41) and I am in shock and don't know what to do. He was unwell for a few weeks and it is all so sudden.

  • I’m so sorry. The hardest part is I don’t think there is anything we can do..apart from love and support them. That’s the hardest thing not being able to control it or take this away. I don’t have any answers but I’m going through this with my dad. My life has stopped it’s taken over me. I feel like running off. I’m just so sorry xx

  • Hi x 

    I am so sorry to hear about your Dad..sending hugs. Im still in shock..I cannot get my head around that our future has been taken from us.

    I  hope you have people around to support you xxx

  • Hi there. I think shock is a normal part of the process and it lasts a while. It’s grieving for someone who is still here. I’m just so sorry. Easier said than done but it’s important to look after yourself too. I’m a mental health professional and struggling with this. But we know we can’t care for others unless we are ok in ourselves. I’m sending you a massive hug and so wish you well. Xx

    1. You are right...we do need to look after ourselves too, it just all seems to much at the moment.  I , like you, am grieving already for the future we won't have xx
