I absolutely feel your pain, anguish and devastation, some advice that i was given is to be kind to yourself, allow yourself to feel the grief and just take one day at a time. Don't be afraid to seek help if you need it. My husband past away almost 5 months ago and yesterday found myself needing to pull over in to the emergency lane on the freeway due to me sobbing uncontrollably and I continue to do my shopping in a nearby suburb as the fear of bumping into someone I know overwhelms me. I also feel that I will spend the rest of my life in sadness. We have lost our best friend and the love of our life

I would be happy to keep in touch, I'm currently experiencing shock and the anger that my entire world has been turned upside down, we had big plans and had been together since I was 17, I now have to learn to be alone

This will be a very difficult time for you, the only advice I can give you is to spend as much time as you can with him, I am thankful that I spent every waking moment in the hospital with my husband, as he passed away 51 days after his cancer diagnosis. You will somehow find the strength.

I am extremely saddened to hear of you losing your soul mate, I feel your pain. It has now been 4 months without my husband and best friend. I continue to experience sudden bouts of overwhelming sadness, at times feeling like I can't function. I am 54 and can't believe I'm a widow and will never see or touch him again. The only advice I can give is to allow yourself to grieve, take one day at a time, there is no time limit, hold your children/grandchildren close as I do mine. My thoughts are with you and your family at this extremely difficult time.

My beautiful husband of 32 years was only 56 years old. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 small cell carcinoma of the lung which had metastasised to his liver and adrenal glands on the 7th March 2024, he heartbreakingly passed away on the 27th April 2024. We have 4 beautiful children and 3 precious grandchildren, they are now what I live for, but I'm finding it so hard, I miss him so much, the pain is unbearable at times. I had not had time to process the diagnosis an now he is gone🥹

My husband was diagnosed with Metastatic Lung Cancer, the cancer has spread to his liver and adrenal glands, this is slightly more difficult as he is also battling newly diagnosed Cushings Syndrome. He commenced chemotherapy and immunotherapy almost two weeks ago. Since then, he has only been able to get out of bed for very short amounts of time to have his medication and minimal oral intake. He is very fatigued and does not feel like eating or drinking. I try everything to encourage him to eat and drink, and would appreciate any advice, as it may be something that I hadn't thought of.
