Death My husband died yesterday
After 1 year and 9 months tortious battle with cancer (SCC of unknown primary.) My beloved husband died at home with me. We battled this horrible experience alone. Friends and family just disappeared from our lives through this time. No one showed up to see if I needed help before he died and NO ONE SHOWED UP upon hearing of his death.
This is really what starting over looks like I guess.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently lost my child to Covid complications, but he was also fighting cancer. People do tend to vanish during this time. Take care of you. Please get a support group and one on one counseling if you can. My therapist says don't be afraid to be selfish and take care of you first during this time....I think it's decent advice. Wish you peace and healing.
