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.

Cannt seem to move on with my life i cry and throw things so depressed i havent gotten out of bed for the last 3 days now i pull the blankets over my head and cry till i fall asleep only to see my husband in my head i wake reaching for him to find he's gone and cry all over again. I dont know how iam going to get over this my heart and soul hurting so bad i need to find some way of moving on just not sure how to. I try to be brave in front of the kids but iam not doing so good right now. I feel like iam losing my mind being pulled in some many different ways being told i should be that i should be doing things this way or that but i dont care not any more. He was my life we were always together it wasnt supposed to be like this, we were going to retire and sit in rocking chairs watching our grandkids grow but that dream is gone now and my soul and heart are broken beyound repair. I loved him so much i dont know how to live with out him. So tried of feeling like this. I havent left my house in days and dont want to really i lay in our bed holding on to his shirt crying my eyes out. I hate that the cancer took him from us if i could i would have taken his place god i miss him so much. When dose the pain go way i so scared feel like iam losing my mind so much of the time i still hear his voice late at night i reach for him to fine myself alone and i hurt all over again
There is no way anyone can tell us how to work through our grief, this is something we all have to work through in our own way. If you have loved someone with all your heart and soul like i think all of us on here it just seems insurmountable to get through every day, I know i will never get over my soulmate but it's not what she wanted for me, i think for each of us, our loved ones wouldn't want or rather don't want us to let go of the memories but also not to stop with the business of carrying on with our lives. Just typing this brings back fresh memories of Margi and fresh tears of longing, but the tears flush away the anguish and the longing. I may not see her, but her spirit lives forever and her pictures around me remind me of her. The good times and the bad times we had all built the relationship i have with her now, stronger than ever with a feeling of inner peace and longing that nothing or anyone can change. I wish everyone the peace and understanding they all deserve, becuase no one should go through this alone.
hey Shawna, crying isnt weird, you have to get it out....lord knows i have shed enough tears the last few weeks for a year's worth....you are not alone, even if it seems it....I dont have much family either....my sister didnt even get involved in the funeral or anything cause she was estranged from my mother....it makes me sick....maybe someday it will get easier, but there will always be the thoughts....i dont see for myself how its going to get easier, i miss her with every bit of my soul....I loved and adored my mom so much, its just a deep ache, not to make you sadder....she died of cancer also.....she didnt know she had it until an operation she had, and it progressed too fast....its so hard....hang in there hun....we are here :)
I'm so sorry you are going through this Shawna, trust me I know how it feels...emptiness, loss, heartbreak....by the way we have the same last name, you just spell yours differently....I wish you peace through this difficult time hun, and we are all here for each other any time :)
Its been awhile since Ive written on here have just been so down that I havent felt like doing much hard for me to get out of bed at times even harder to leave the house. I finally started therapy and its ok I guess I just dont even know why Im going, nothing anyone says or does makes it any easier that I lost my fiance. Today seems especially hard Im not sure why I guess because its rainy and cool here and I woke up feeling especially lonely for Jerry. Crying off and on trying not to let the kids see because they dont understand and that makes all of this worse trying to keep telling them daddy isnt coming home and so on.
Guy,
I kknow what you mean when you say each passing day seem hollow and meaningless. I feel the same way sometimes all of this just seem unreal, feel like Im in a bad nightmare and I cant wake up
