Re: Cancer took my husband of 40 years. Not coping.

We got married when I was 18 he was 20. My first love my last love. .From being well to dying in a matter of 4 months. I watched him deteriorate before my eyes. I nursed him at home..I watched him leave him..

Re: Cancer took my husband of 40 years. Not coping.

Sending a warm hug @Starta and a warm welcome to Sane. I am so sorry for your loss....really there are no words. I am currently nursing my husband whom has cancer. That disease robs us of so much.......

Do you have family around you that you can lean on? I am here for you if you wish to talk and lean on someone. My heart goes out to you. 🤗

@Former-Member,

I went and still am going through his last 4 months, how can I speak to you when you yourself are going through it. It's to hard for me to I am afraid I might upset you I'm sorry, my tears are falling just thinking about what's happening to you and your husband.
