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 love and sympathy to you and your family, OP. I hope you feel able to accept all the help you can get from friends, relatives and support groups such as widowed and young.org.uk.

Also, don’t neglect your own health and recovery from the hysterectomy. The various hysterectomy support groups you can find online may be able to help. You’ve been through so much. I wish you and DC a much happier future ❤️.

DH passed this evening. It was supposed to be our wedding day, it was already our "being together anniversary"
I feel so broken.
He's at peace.
I miss him so much.

My prayers are with your family. Im so glad yo hear you managed to get married. Through your grief hold on to the love you had and lean on your family and friends.

Hes at peace, and much as it hurts I hope that brings you comfort. We're all wishing you healing and peace x
