This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.

Here in England, im deeply saddened to learn of Doris Day's death aged 97 I believe ?
My late wife and I loved her as a singer and actress.
She was the soul of human decency, with a beautiful voice that radiated goodness.
RIP Doris Day..
Jo B,
It is a big decision to make. I will pray for you. Take Care.
thnx

I feel it all depends on the relationship, no matter if man or woman.
Have heard the same thing about men and loneliness, based on the assumption that women usually have richer and more developed social networks, a wider range of relationships, etc. Of course this isn’t true of all women, though it seems to often be the case. My husband was the more sociable person in our household, and that encouragement to engage with the world, entertain, meet new people, was very good for me. He sort of brought me along, I guess. Now I look at all the wine glasses, picnic baskets, even the croquet set — they reflect an outgoing, celebratory approach that was mine, was ours, but make me wonder who I am now that I am alone. Will I do such things again?
Are you finding any successful techniques for being less anxious? That is something I struggle with as well. The loss of confidence you mention is definitely part of this anxiety problem...I read a bereavement memoir in which the writer talked about the shame of being bereaved, and that really resonated with me. Maybe the shame leads to the anxiety by way of self consciousness?
In my opinion as a Widower by 4 and a half years, men find dealing with being alone and loneliness harder than woman, this is what widows I meet tell me.
I strive on a daily basis to at least be less anxious, but I miss my right arm in my wife.
There is also a certain inner confidence that comes with marriage, its gone when your spouse dies.
Michael,
i love the line, “we always had a visit from the spirit, the sparkle, and the magic of Santa Claus.”
I would call my Mom Mrs. Claus.
She would make everyday like Christmas.
