My wonderful husband has now passed after a courageous fight over 21 months.  There is no relief , no idea what to do now or how to continue without him, such a waste of life.  This pain is real. My heart goes out to all who are living with this , they must find better treatments to give people more time. 

  • So sorry for your loss, Strawberry Blonde. Over the coming  days/weeks/months be gentle with yourself. Please don't underestimate the toll the journey has taken on you. I was utterly exhausted on all levels (emotional, mental and physical) by the time G's journey ended.  Take each day as it comes. Some will be easier than others but you'll get through them all.

    Remember we are still here for you. You're not alone.

    I wholeheartedly agree that they must find more answers when it comes to this journey and more effective treatments. 

    sending you healing love and light and hugs

    Wee Me xx

  • Those months were precious to him as well. Now is the time to care for yourself

  • My son has a life limiting brain cancer. Having served in the British Army, a long standing friend was at Leeds hospital with his eighth secondary.  I asked him for advice, having three daughters and a beautiful wife.  His words were " you will never know how strong you can be until it's required" . We fought together, his words will never leave me. He died soon after, his dignity, and how he engendered trust and fortitude to those who had the first unwanted news was remarkable. 

    Find peace, find sunset, your loved

  • Thankyou I’m so lost ,   The silence in our home is deafening as it was just us two. but he fought so very hard to stay. 

  • I understand. Feeling lost is only natural just now. As I said before, be gentle with yourself. Assuming you still have things to arrange and sort out, pace yourself with those tasks. Take it one step at a time.

    I chose to keep busy for the first few weeks after G passed but you run out of chores to do eventually and have to slow down. The quiet times are tough but they get easier, I promise you.

    Love n hugs
