My husband died yesterday

[u/Mary-Jan]

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 having rectal cancer surgery this Friday. My wife and I lost our fair weather friends years ago. At first it hurts but it’s such a blessing when they disappear from your life. Blood is truly thicker than water but leave the door open for special surprises in this mysterious adventure of life. So sorry for your loss.
