Husband now terminal

My 31 year old husband has been today diagnosed as terminal. His cancer which had gone in July has come back rapidly and now there is nothing they can do Sad. How do you move on from here? We had his sperm frozen to hopefully try ivf but he won't even be alive to try that.

I'm so utterly heartbroken Sad

My thoughts are with you.

Don't feel bad about any relief that you are feeling. Your wonderful husband is no longer in any pain and that can only be met with relief.

Be kind to yourself xx

Sending love.
My DH died of leukaemia when he was 29.
He battled herocially but I finally understood that sometimes winning is not having to fight any more.
You have been brilliant.
He is at peace now Star
