    • Close Bereavement
      : Loss of a Partner/Spouse

      Alone with 2 toddlers, 1teenager. My 43yr old husband collapsed with a brain tumour which should of killed him immediately but he died 1yr later after surgery, chemo & radiotherapy. I watched him slowly die in front of my eyes. When he took a deep breath I shook in terror, the clock ticked slowly as I watched, waited & wished i'd wake up from the nightmare! His last year we got married & ad 3rd baby. A year later & I’ve just realized he died and that he isn’t coming home! My heart is broken
