To be really scared of getting ill as a widow

[SnowyLamb]

DH was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the start of covid and died towards the end of restrictions.

The whole experience was awful but it.woukd have been a whole lot worse, for him, if I hadn't been there to fight his corner advocate for him with regard to the care he got.

It felt like I had to fight for everything from proper pain relief, to help with caring for him. Even though I couldn't visit him just hospital I could call the ward when he was worried about things.

Then when I came home I cared for him until the end.

Now I'm on my own , I really worry about what would happen to me should I find myself in the same situation.

All,of this is spades. My DH died 18 months ago with lung cancer, he was relatively young and never complained so always always got overlooked. His admissions where always during Covid so I was on the phone all the time chasing things down. I have family but they are all over an hour away. I have a young adult with ASD - because of all this I have finally got in touch with SS to make sure he is on their radar if anything happened to me. He's 'good enough' to be ok for a day or two but not long term
