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.

My deepest apologies that you and him had to go through this alone and deserted by your friends. You have my deepest and most sincerest condolences 🫂🫂❤️❤️ be kind to yourself while you're grieving his passing. Try to see if there's a local support group in your area for people who have lost loved ones to cancer. If that's too overwhelming, simple things like art will help get the emotions out and help with the grieving process.

Take comfort in knowing that he's always going to be with you and that he's no longer in pain. And don't worry about the friends who weren't there, I used to get upset when that started happening when I started my cancer treatments. But a fellow patient shared that it's okay to lose people along the way, cause they'll get replaced by people who are amazing and not afraid to go through the painful times with you.

Much love and prayers from my little odd family to you🫂
