My wife was diagnosed with cancer in May/June 2015 and moved into the hospice last week. We have two young kids and I'm 33.
I have a lot to say, but for now two things. One, she organised health and life insurance for both of us, and increased them before each child. She's always been the sensible one. Two, having the kids to look after has made things incredibly difficult but I don't know where I'd be without them. Children constantly pull you into the here-and-now. It is so terribly sad that they'll miss out on their mother and she'll miss out on them.
- wavefunction 10y agoMy condolences, and I wish you and yours as well as you can be.
- mrbill 10y agoMy condolences. I know there's not much I could say that would help. Hang in there.
- johnny_reilly 10y agoI'm so sorry you're having such a tough time. As a father of a 2 young children I know you're right about them - they are wonderful, joyful hard work. Praying that things go as well for you as they can.
- cakkineni 10y agoMy condolences to you. The kids are one way a Godsend and hopefully they'll help you to live through it somehow. Very sorry :(.
- cafard 10y agoYou have my condolences. My mother died at 42, of the effects of a fall. My father remarried after about a year and a half; how heavily the care of my brother and myself weighed in his decision, I can't say. I will say that it must have been five years before he could mention my mother's name without clearing his throat. I wish that I had something useful to tell you, but really I don't, except that I'd urge you to think very carefully before moving where you now live, at least if the children are old enough to have formed friendships.
