      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      my husband Jack died on the 8th November 2008. He had been suffering from colon cancer but after 7 cycles of chemo and with good scan results we were really looking forward to xmas and 2009. On Saturday 8th November after feeling a little rough Jack collapsed and died we later discovered it was due to a blood clot on the lung probably caused by the chemo. It's so unfair he was 64 and would have been 65 on 22/11/08, we were together for 27yrs married for 11 of them and i loved him very much

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      I cry at the drop of a hat. Everyday brings more memories and a lot more tears.
      Getting Angry Not Working
      leaves me feeling physically exhausted but emotionally does not really help.
      Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
      helps for a short while
      Music Too Soon to Tell
      favorite songs make me cry, music has so many memories attached to it that emotions are often high, i love music but it can be torture.
      Pets Working / Worked
      We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they do help, they need me and rely on me.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My family have been great, they are there when i need them and also understand my need to be alone sometimes.
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      after reading other peoples stories you realize you are not the only one suffering. giving and receiving hugs and a few kind words helps.

      I lost my husband Jack, on the 8th Nov 2008. He had been suffering from colon cancer which was deemed terminal, but after 7 cycles of chemo the tumour had shrunk and we were feeling positve for the future, thinking we maybe had a few years rather than months. Suddenly after feeling a bit off on saturday 8th November 2008 Jack died and my whole world collapsed. We have since found out that it was a blood clot on the lung most likely a complication of the chemo. It's so hard to be without him.
