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.

Sending you an enormous hug, it is so so sad and unfair. Just get through each minute as it comes and lean on everyone you can.

I feel so broken.
He's at peace.
I miss him so much.

Look after yourself and the children, and get all the family/friend support you can.

Just take one day and one night at a time - over time the worst of the pain does lessen gradually.

Best wishes x💐
