I lost my mum 10 weeks ago to lung cancer its just emotionally painful my family supported her for 6mths until she passed away. Just found out yesterday my husband who has a brain tumour had for 15 years been operated on had 3 lots of treatment had two strokes in 18mths now has 6mths to live. He's 55 we have grown up children and grandchildren. Been together 29 years im so broken I dont know if I can cope with all this
Thank you for the reply I know i will get my husband and my family through its just who gets me through it. Im so angry upset my heart hurts.
