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 am so sorry for you loss and for all you’re going through. Take your time to heal. This is your chance to start over like you said. Turn over a new leaf and first step is cutting out all these “friends and family” that left you both to go through this alone. You are so strong. You made it through this, you can do anything!
