    • Not really. It's difficult to reach out to people. I just feel like I am spiraling out of control. And I can feel everything mounting up and this grief  is consuming me.

  • 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
