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. A loss is never easy… it’s hard to cope with this loss and I’m sending lots of love and prayers. Grief is hard and coming from someone who also struggled with grief, I’d advice take it day by day and allow yourself to feel. It’s a journey and I’m hoping you’re able to find comfort and peace again ❤️
