Saddness Overwhelms Me

 My husband was diagnosed a year ago in July 2022 with stage 4 lung cancer.  He underwent chemo and radiation but the cancer spread to his liver and adrenal gland.

I thought he was doing ok with the help of home care.  They got his medications straightened out and then his pain got worse as his feet and legs began to swell.  Then I was doing pain injections from home.

He went to the hospital the first time and did not want to stay, so I brought him home.  The second time, August 2nd, 2023 he had to go to hospital as he needed more care than I could give him.  He could not walk on his own as his toes were purple and so swollen all the way up to his hips.

On August 6th, 2023, he passed away in hospital.  The cancer took him from me.

After 34 years of marriage, I am feeling so empty and so alone!  I miss him so much, I can hardly stand it.

Until I see you again, my love!
