My DH has died

My beautiful DH died in my arms on Saturday aged 37, after an 18 month battle with cancer. I'm left with a 3 year old and a 1 month old ... and I still can't believe I am writing these words. I know some other MNetters have been through this too as I've been lurking for a while - Martianbishop, retiredgoth, onlyjoking, evenstar ... are you there? I've been reading your posts for months now (ever since he was declared terminal) but never had the courage to post before, but I know that you and others will know what I'm going through - the shock, the fear of the future, and some relief that the cruel disease is no longer a constant shadow in the house .. Tell me - is there any light at the end of the tunnel?

As DutchOma says, I didn't think of putting a prayer request myself, but consider it seconded, as I want to help Squidge in these difficult times.

I'm so very very sorry to read this, I just can't find any other words to try to express what I want to say. I feel very inadequate and wish I could do / say more. I do hope that you can accept help from your friends and family at this time and get through it as best as you can. Much love, you are in my thoughts
