My DH was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks ago (bowel and liver). We just found out yesterday that it is terminal and are devastated.
We have two children aged 7 and 10. How do you keep it together for your children when you just feel broken?
They know he has cancer but no more. They seem to have coped with that but how can such small children deal with what's coming when I'm not sure I can deal with it?
When I go outside it seems so bizarre that things are carrying on as normal + people are going about their daily lives.
Anyone else been through or going through similar? It just feels like hell at the moment.
