DH has cancer. (Diagnosed Jan 2024)
We were supposed to get married - at simple 2+2 ceremony at the end of the month but his Dr's etc encouraged us to bring the date forwards, so we got married yesterday in the hospital where my DH is being cared for.
I'm a week post major abdominal surgery.
We have 2 primary aged DC
It's our youngest DCs birthday this month.

I don't know what I want from this post but I can't stop crying.
I don't think that I know how break it to the DC that Daddy isn't going to get better and come home.
My head is swimming & I don't know what to do.

I hope you don’t mind me sharing something? Im not religious, it’s not a God thing, more of a “next journey” thing.

Last night, the sunset here was incredible. One of those nights where you can see the literal sun rays coming down through a gap in the clouds, fire red and bright orange, touching a specific space. When I see things like that, I always find myself thinking it’s a portal, like a connection between this plane and the next. Perhaps your husband travelled through that fabulous sunset. It looked majestic.

Ummmmmerrrrr · 28/06/2025 07:02

So very sorry OP, just take one day at a time and perhaps in time join some of the bereavement posts which I found helpful when my DH passed. Xxxx

RabbitsRock · 28/06/2025 07:03

So sorry to read your update OP 💐I have a friend who was widowed at 25 & she has thrown herself into trying to set up help for younger widows as in her experience there doesn’t seem to be a lot available. She has 2 very young children. We are based in Cornwall but I am happy to see if she has anything online & I can inbox you the details. So sorry for what is happening to your family. A few weeks have passed now since your wedding & hopefully you are able to gain some comfort from the memories of that day ❤️
