Terminal cancer and Me

Terminal cancer and Me

My husband has terminal cancer and he's not far from the end. It's an ordeal I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Were young so it's hard because we won't get to spend the rest of our lives together.

But I'm left with no support and the questions what about me?

There isn't anyone helping me that is near me get through this. We have children and they are suffering and I'm looking after them hard. Yet no one is looking after me.

I Understand the concept of what he's going through and I know when he says all the nasty things it's not him it's the cancer but because of those things I am left on my own. No one close no one who can talk to me about how I'm feeling and worst of all having my feelings be told they are not important.

I truly feel lost and unsure of where to go, I know professionals and eveything and I'm doing that but what I need is a friend who will come have coffee with me listen to my feelings and just validate that Im allowed to feel this and it's not wrong.
