Thank you for replying. I’m so sorry that it was sudden, that must make it doubly hard to accept. My husband had lung cancer diagnosed last September, had 40% of his lung removed in December & was making a good recovery. Then developed secondary brain mets in May, his one & only chemo/immunotherapy was too severe for his weakened state & hospitalised him with excruciating pain. I couldn’t visit due to Covid restrictions so we were apart for the first time in 38 years, I fought the hospital to get him home where he desperately wanted to be. After the longest 13 days I won & we cared for him for just short of two weeks when he slipped away in my arms & our sons holding his hands. I’m filing a complaint against the oncology department when I’m stronger .
Like you we did everything together we didn’t need to socialise, we had each other. One of the last things he said to me was “it wasn’t meant to end this way, we should have grown old together “. I go over it in my mind hundreds of times a day it physically hurts .
I haven’t got his ashes yet but I’m having some made into a ring so he’s with me all the time.
Take care, thank you again for replying xxx
