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

You must be exhausted. How much longer are you going to stay there for? Hope Pils dog is ok. I hope your gorgeous dog is helping you today

I can't collect DH ashes until 27th so I'll collect them and then go home. It's my dads birthday today so I wanted to see him. PIL dog is okay the vet thinks it's just a stomach bug.

Look after yourself and DDog and let others look after you... have a rest Niffler, thinking of you

MrsSthe3rd · 23/12/2017 10:26

Oh @Nifflerbowtruckle what a situation for you to be in.

I'm sure (from what you've said) that wherever your DH is, he is with you and trying to send you strength and also very proud of how you are handling this very tense situation with your ILs.

You are an amazingly strong woman.

Take care lovely 💐

You are doing really well at such an awful time.

NoKnownFather · 23/12/2017 23:10

Still thinking of you and sorry you have to wait to collect his ashes. Hope the situation with MIL has eased a bit. Will be so much better for you once you are back in your own home. Do enjoy the time with your Dad on his birthday.

Best wishes for you tomorrow.Flowers

Thank you all. Everything still feels a little surreal and it's only when I talk about it I start to get a little choked up. I think Christmas without him will be hard. I've spent the past 7 Christmases with him and the couple before that we saw each other Christmas eve/boxing day. I'm just not ready to let him go and he's already gone.

Thoughts with you today @Nifflerbowtruckle

I hope it is as easy as it can be but filled with lovely memories of your time together.

Nifflerbowtruckle · 25/12/2017 09:54

I had quite a rude dream about DH last night and it took me a while this morning to realise he wasn't here.

I have no idea how I feel this morning. DH always loved Christmas (as do I) and it's just so weird without him here.

I'm doing okay. I took PIL dog to the park and he now has sore paws. We think he's been nettled. He's running around scraping his paws poor boy.
