dewberry's blog post - my worst christmas ever

Hi all
Way back in 2013 I blogged about my wife being diagnosed with breast cancer and the effects of having chemo. She was told she didn't need chemo but if she did that nasty disease shouldn't return, well a 4% chance of it returning.

Well I've just spent my first Christmas alone. That damn disease came back in September, virtually 4 years to the day she started chemo previously, only this time it attacked her lungs, liver and bones. We both knew it was bad but were positive we could beat it again.
On 4th December 2017, she lost the fight and sadly passed away. I was devastated, my children distraught, her sister and family in shock. The most beautiful wonderful woman in the world was taken from me and now am alone after 46 years.
I feel lost, the house is empty. Christmas came and went and yet no one to share it with.
I know I will survive, I have to.
Look after your partners forever, love them and tell them so, I did.
