Hi all
ive not been in here for a while….. my husband had Stage 4 cancer of the oesophagus and sadly passed away 4 weeks ago.
my husband fought this cruel disease and never let it define him. I’m so proud he was my husband.
please don’t give up hope even though I know how tough the journey is.
take care everyone xx
So sorry to hear this, your husband sounded like a truly wonderful man. I hope you are getting support from the people around you. Sending you my love x
Dear Evy
Your grief will be raw yet you have found the time to reach out to this community with words of thoughtfulness. Your husband must have been as proud of you as you are of him. Both of you have borne the consequences of this terrible illness with dignity.
Thank you for reminding me that with hope comes strength and not to let this disease define me.
Dear Evy,
I am sorry for your loss. I lost my partner 6 weeks ago to this cruel disease. He didn’t have the opportunity to have treatment and lost his battle 3 weeks after the terminal diagnosis. I am still in the denial phase of grief. I was recommended a book called Unexpected Loss and Grief Recovery. I have managed a few chapters so far but it is very insightful and takes you through the process of grieving, coping and managing which I am finding very hard at the moment. I hope you are ok xx
Hi

i think im doing ok one day at a time. I hope you manage to navigate your way through your grief…. It’s not easy. There is no right or wrong way … thanx for your kind words. Take care x
Thanx ….. my husband was my rock …. Seen the funny side of everything… a unique , special man x
