I was so sad reading your blog.I am sorry this awful disease has claimed your wife's life.You give good advice about being optimistic but also prepared. I am 56yrs and had breast cancer for the second time last year.The first time was in 2003 and it was a shock but I thought it was a "one off".It was in the same breast again and classed as early breast cancer so hopefully I'm ok. But you just never know do you.So I am making huge changes to my life this year.My husband was a bit reluctant but we have sold our big 2 storey home of 22yrs and downsizing to a smaller single level one.We are decluttering and culling at the moment.I felt compelled to do this now, should something happen to me.I am also thinking of retiring from my job and after reading your words,I"ll do it.My husband has retired so we will have more time together.
I think it is a wonderful idea to form a group for men who have lost their wives.Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family.I am thinking of you and your lovely,brave wife tonight and heeding your words.
