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

Funeral went okay.

Broke me watching his dad carry his coffin it just looked so so wrong.

His brother did a good eulogy.

I'm just so so tired now and a little hungry.

Well done for getting through today, it must have been so hard for you. Try and get some rest tonight. Take things slowly and try and look after yourself.

MrsMozart · 22/12/2017 13:43

Oh sweetie. Be kind to yourself now. Take time.

Amber0685 · 22/12/2017 13:57

How are you today Niffler?

Jux · 22/12/2017 14:10

Well done Niffler. The funeral is hard, and the wake can be harder. It’s exhausting.

Look after yourself and ddog. Put your needs first now. xxx

I'm doing okay today although I feel rough. PIL dog has been rushed to vets although he's doing okay now. He's got a bug. Their last dog died suddenly just before DH was diagnosed so it was a bit of a panic.
