Hi, this is my first time here and not even sure if this is where I am supposed to write this.
My husband was told he had none curable rare cancer in December. My world has fallen apart in short. Apparently what I am feeling is grief. I don't even know where to start. Any kind of help would helpful
Thank you.
Do you feel able to phone the Macmillan support line ? They helped me when I was grief stricken.
Yes I will give them a try. My husband is doing amazing and so strong. We talked and he explained when he sees me so upset it hurts him to see me like that. So now I feel I have to go out in my car, park up and do my crying there . I don't want to bring him down while he is feeling positive. People keep saying oh he will be ok.....no he won't I looked up the hospital that we have to go to, on there it tells you about his cancer and life expectancy. If they CAN operate, it's only to give him more time. ..... I just can't cope. Xxx thank you all for your help. Xxx
I’m sure you will find them helpful and post on here anytime too.Love Jane xx
