I know there may be more specific sites to put this thread but I can't bring myself to go there
DH is in hospital with Leukaemia- and for the past few weeks has had a chest infection
Now he has 2 chest infections
I have been visiting x2 a day but not since Thursday as I got Covid (for the first time)
The Macmillan nurse has just rung asking me to do a test as the Dr wants to have an conversation' and it might be easier if I am there
Of course I am still testing positive
I tried to get details out of her but all she would say is that it is a serious conversation
Dr is due to ring me soon
I feel sick with nerves and so guilty that I am not there
He is 49
I really need a hand hold

Oh @MumofSpud I'm so sorry you've had that news. There's no words are there, but I'm thinking of you and your dh.

@MumofSpud I'm so sorry. That's devastating. Please look after yourself. Sending you so many unmumsnetty hugs ❤️

Sending you all all the love and hugs, had to have several of these conversations with late ex partner, make sure you give yourself time to grieve the news. It's great your DH is making his plans but it is so difficult to hear them, being the other person xxx

I‘m so sorry Flowers

ImNotOnTwitterButMySupportGoldfinchTweets · 04/10/2022 20:40

I’m so sorry to read the updates. Sending you hugs and a handhold. I do really crap, awkward hugs, but they are very genuine. I’m so sorry xx

So sorry to read uour ipdate @MumofSpud it's really is shirty
So I am just going to sit here next to you and when you want to scream at the world I will be there to listen

I joined MN when my DH very suddenly died, the initial support that I got worse quite literally lifesaving it drag me back from a very dangerous Edge and then later on the practical advice and support i got was informative reassuring and very useful and I'm sure Mumsnet hasn't changed and you will get the same good advice

Mamaof2males · 04/10/2022 20:41

I'm so sorry, your poor family and dh. Sending love, support and strength for the weeks ahead. I hope you have lots of real life support when you feel like you need it.

I am so sorry, how devastating for all of you. May his mind be at peace throughout.

FuzzySock · 04/10/2022 21:06

So sorry to hear, sending thoughts and prayers to you all ❤️

HyggeandTea · 04/10/2022 21:08

Just joining in to say how sorry I am. There is never enough time xx

Dibbydoos · 04/10/2022 21:10

Hi OP,

I hope you get the support you need. I got no real warning of my DHs death - 24 hours - he was 50. It happened 6 years ago. I know of others who really got no notice, just the police knocking on the door 😢.

It's shit.

You will get through this. Your DP will be with you the whole of your life.

My cousin is in the same situ - making memories etc. So, focus on the here and now, live in the moment with him. Make every minute count xxx

Sending you a huge hug 💕

Dontcareforthehaters · 04/10/2022 21:12

Dear OP,
This is so hard. Sending you and your family lots of hugs and warmth.

Watzzap · 04/10/2022 21:14

I know what you are going through, it’s devastating, especially when you think of all the dreams you had for the future, that now won’t be happening. I hope that you have good support, for both you and DH, as well as DCs. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. 💐
