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.

It was 6 months ago today that my beautiful wife Andrea was taken from me. I go through the motions of life but the hole inside me is ever present.  I make plans but don't follow through, I avoid people because being around them brings up memories that cause the tears to flow. I've been forgetful, moody and downright mean at times. I will stay the course because she would want me to but I will dream of the day we are reunited. Sweet Dreams My Love.

Its been seven months since the love of my life died of cancer i have been in hell ,stress,weight gain, insomnia,depression, I don.t want to be here . I will not do anything as i do not want to hurt family in a way i am trapped there is a large family gathering next week family are coming from every where even over seas .I really do not want to go as the last time i went my soul mate was with me this time i am alone large groups make me feel uncomfortable i tend to hide away  since my wife died ,I do see siblings and stay at times only to stop going mad and dark thoughts.

Katleen Akin, I share your anxieties.  People who havent been there, dont know how it feels.  I have sent you a friend request.

I'm crying all the time now. So scared of the future I'm having a tough time being in the present while Rocky is still here. I don't want to do that but I don't know how to stop it. I even yelled at him yesterday for getting sick and dying and leaving me. How can I be so awful? I don't deserve him. I want to go with him. I'm going to go with him. I'm not going to be brave and go on when he goes what would the point of that be? I'm scared of a future without him in it I don't even know what that looks like. I don't know why I'm this way...I will hurt my kids but I just don't care.

Hi, I lost my wife in September last year 2014 to cancer, , she had Bowel cancer, we were marred 22 years.  She was my best friend and soul mate, frankly I wish I could fast forward 5, 10, 15 years ect and get the hell out of it....

I have never been able to talk about this with anyone in my personal life so I thought I would try talking about it here, I lost my mom when I was 14 to a 9 month battle with cancer. I'm 18 now and I feel like the person I want to share everything with is gone, she wasn't there for my high school graduation and getting in to my top university. I don't really know how to cope with her not being here, during the day I'm fine, i'm the smiling happy person who everyone laughs with, but at night all I can think of is her in the hospital bed. If anyone has any advice for me or just wants to talk I would appreciate it.

@kathleen akin. Hi, I know how you feel. My aunt got cancer and she survived it, thank god. Then just over 2 years ago I lost my close friend to leukemia and that tore me up inside. I think whether you're new to cancer or not, it will always hurt. I am happy your son survived and is happy. I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Both of you will be in my prayers. 

Comment by kathleen akin on March 27, 2015 at 4:40pm

I don't know how anyone can do this... I had a son who had leukemia when he was 8 and he not only survived, he is a strapping 37 year old father of 2. Now my husband has liver cancer so here I go again, only with no hope. I don't know what I'm doing.  Too new at this I think.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
