My wife died last month of liver cancer so I'm still feeling pretty
raw.I'm sixty, live in Ireland by the Shannon, to where we retired
after working in Cornwall for most of our lives. I understand the
process of grieving and am currently going through the angry stage, I
want answers. So a question for the group. Some years ago my wife had
a masectomy of the right breast and the glands removed on that side
at Limerick hospital. Should she then have been offered chemotherapy?
Within a year she was put on yearly check ups? At which we had to
fight for proper scans? One of which they lost in the hospital so it
was just presumed it would have been clear?
    Earlier this year she went to the specialist! with back pains and
darkening skin colouring. He said he'd arrange a scan some time in
the future! I lost patience, took her the next day to Ennis hospital
where she was admitted immediately. After a few days she was sent,in
great pain to Kilkenny hospital[140 miles away] to have a stent put
in.
     They proceded to lose her between there and Dublin during the
next week. I learnt later this shuttling was due to them puncuring
her bowel trying to insert the stent.The stent, and all else they
tried failed, I had to fight to get my darling wife returned to a
local hospice.The rest is history, basically she died of starvation
unable to process food.
       I apologise if this history is too graphic for you, you all
must have been through similar. Question? Do I accept fate, or seek
answers, pick at the raw wound? The questions I have asked to date
have, as expected, led to the closing of medical ranks.

Hi kym

I know how hard it is my husband died 7 year ago 2 days before my
bithday and 3 wk before my sons and 4 wk before his own. Birthdays and
aniversarys are hard whenever they. It must be hard for your son. I
know my son has said how can he be happy with anything in life and have
fun if his dad is dead.

Have a look at our web site www.elizabethtucker.co.uk follow the links
to roger tucker and then to how his illness effected us.

You dont say how old your son is?

Ive written a book for small children you can see that on the web page
too.

Also try the web page for winston wish they are a charity who help
children with bearvment.

For you sons birthday you could you could do something together to
remember your husband eg lighting canndel buring it for day, writing a
message on a ballon to your husband and letting it go. Have you done a
memery box? Bye a special box put all the things together that remind
you of your husband eg card, photos, moments days out jewerary etc Then
later in the day do something for your sons birthday let him know its
ok to celebrate.

because my childen were very young ive kept a trunk full of stuff for
them silly things like clothes, paper with handwritting, ties he wore
for work etc because there memeries of the person will be so linited it
will bring alive the person to them.

I hope that helps please free to e mail me
elizabeth.tucker@...

Remember whatever you are doing to cope is fine we all react
differently and get there in the end.

My husband died 5 years ago tomorrow. He had cancer and it was 4
years from diognosis to losing his battel. it is very hard, the
first year is the worst. coping with your feelings your kids feeling
and everybody else. my advice for any one going through this kind of
experiance is to take plenty of time for yourself, massage,
Atomatherapy, long baths, swimming, sitting in a sauna, cholate,
other people making you meals are just a few ideas it doesnt stop
the fact that you have to grieve put it does insure you come out the
otherside intact. It will change you as a person make you strong and
what trival things might have seemed important before are no longer.
it is possible to build a new life for yourself you never forget the
person you always remember you learn to cope with it and move on to
a new you.

Hi Everyone I lost my husband 4 years ago to cancer, Ive just had a
book published for children under 5 to explain about ilness and
dieing. There was very little about when my children were having to
deal with trying to understand what was happening and as adults its
difficult to put it in to words so a book can be very helpfull. If
any one is interested in the book contact me.

Thanks

I lost my Grandad last sunday. He died in Hospital, I was with him
as he slipped away into peace. He was 82 drank like a fish smoked
like a chimney and a grumpy sod too so dont think he did too bad
reaching 82.

It was the funaral on thusday I did the tribute only a small service
with about a dozen people.  He was buried only a few feet away from
my husband.

It was strange though.....because Ive lost my husband which was very
painfull and hard to cope with this seemed an experience which was
void of the same amount of pain.

have any of you experienced this.....because we have had so much
pain, you are able to deal with emotional and painfull situations
that previously you would have been deeply effected by.

does that make sence to any one????
