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.

u/Slide-Capable Stage II Breast Cancer Nov 30 '23

I am so sorry that you no longer have your "beloved" husband. I'm in remission after having breast cancer and if I died, my husband would be left alone with no family or friends just like you. We decided to cut ties with everyone because of what you just described. I'm thinking about you and sending you hugs!
