My husband passed away 1/26/17 [View all]
He was diagnosed with cancer 10 months before he died and had chemo and radiation almost the whole time. We knew when he was diagnosed that he didn't have much of a chance, which didn't make it easier to accept his death. We were married 45 1/2 years. We had a loving relationship and I miss him. We both wanted to beat the odds, but it didn't work out.
I have a lot of support from family and friends. I have a little bit too much support from my sister and I would like her to dial it back. We aren't that close and I stopped sharing really personal stuff with her a long time ago. I am grateful that she calls and texts, but I'd be more comfortable with less. I sometimes don't answer the phone when she calls. Has anyone else had so much support they would like a break from it? Should I tell her that less is better? She is a fragile alcoholic, so I don't want to be cruel.
My children, friends and other relatives stay in touch with a frequency I am more comfortable dealing with.
Thanks for any replies. I understand that dealing with losses is never easy.
