Another loss, another cancer victim

[CaptBirdsEar]

So I lost my husband 6 years ago, cancer, this after 40 years together. I met someone else 3 years ago and we formed a relationship. A year in he was diagnosed with cancer, we’ve spent two years seesawing our emotions snd yesterday he passed away. I feel numb, don’t know if I can go through the grieving again, be on my own again. I’m so tired.

I’m so sorry. Do you have any lovely memories of him?

I’m so very sorry.

Do you have anybody with you right now?

Or would you would to talk here?

cancer is so utterly horrible and I’m so terribly sorry for your loss xx

thank you both for your replies.

i live on my own, but do have friends I can talk to or be with. However no one understands a loss like this if they haven’t experienced one themselves. It was a relatively short relationship compared to my marriage, but we had both thought (he was a widow) that we would have more time.

That’s so sad 😔 to go through that twice. Life is so unfair. You must be heartbroken. I want to give you a big hug 🫂 xxx

Thank you @LavenderFields7🙏🏻

So sorry OP. I lost my husband to cancer in the summer, he was only 39. Spent the last couple of years caring for him. Honestly, I empathise because I’m absolutely petrified of falling in love again and losing someone again.

@aquestionforya I’m sorry for your loss, that’s so young to lose your husband. I hadn’t set out to meet someone else, we just gelled meeting every week at a local club, things progressed organically from there. I know that I now have the rest of my life on my own, and I’m struggling to fill my days. It’s such early days for you, I hope you find peace.

Ah @CaptBirdsEar, so sorry to hear your news. Life is so unfair at times

Just a quick note on your last post, if you’re finding yourself struggling with things to keep yourself occupied, perhaps have a look at volunteering, could be just the thing to help fill the time.

take care of yourself xx

So my late partners sons have arranged when the funeral will be. I found out the date and time on Facebook. I feel hurt that they didn’t phone to tell me.
