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 very sorry for your loss.
Similar situation here. I take care of my mom. We thought we had no one before this, but we REALLY have no one now.
I do have some friends who ask about her, but she tells me not to share any information because all people really do is talk amongst themselves, not to us.
