Hi everyone,
I haven't posted here in a long, long time I know. I lost my beloved husband in May of 2018 to prostate cancer. Now I have written a book with the title "When to love means to let go". I am not allowed to post my full name or the link here but I trust that those of you who want to find it will do so.
Love, Mel.
Dear Mel.
Many congratulations on completing your book. I really hope that the composition of it has brought you peace and helped you with your bereavement healing.
Very best wishes,
Jonathan x
Thank you, Jonathan. In the book I am talking about what my experience was like as Paul's sole carer and about what I have learned in the months following his death. Love, Mel.
I don't like the term "moving on" because it sounds to me like we are leaving our loved ones and the life we had with them behind. I like the term "moving forward" as it implies that, while life goes on, our loved ones are still with us in our hearts and minds.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
