Yes as a carer I do suffer from the emotions of selfishness, resentment, sadness, fear and hundreds more however, I will never stop loving my husband. He is 40 & we have 3 young children, we have been together for 21 yrs. I also feel very blessed to be his wife & the mother of our children. We have fought, cryed, laughed & loved with each other none of which will ever be forgotten.
My negative emotions are only ever released here as an outlet to those who walk in my shoes as only you carers can understand the multitude of emotions we have.
For my husband, children's & my sake I WILL be superwoman for as long as it takes.

So glad to hear that others have the very same emotions as I. I too have been caring for my husband for over 2 yrs and have been to hell and back with him. I too feel really ripped off at times and think this is not how we planned our lives. I feel resentment at times when most people ask "How is your husband doing"? and I think you could also have asked how I was coping and would I like a hand with anything. Every day is another day with cancer..

Thanks for your kind messages. I am in a better space this week. My husband has finished 2 cycles of chemo without too many side effects, 2 more to go. Anxious for next scans to see how effective his treatment is. Keep your fingers & toes crossed for us.

Ive been a carer for over 2yrs to my husband who has lung cancer. We have 3 young children & a business to run. Im feeling very scared, lonely & like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I have survived with my husband 3 major surgeries, chemo, radiation, dr's apptmnts, scans & pain as well as trying to create some sort of normal life for our children. Having a bad moment but will be alright later on.
