My husband was diagnosed exactly 6 months before, with stage 4 metastasised cancer exactly six months before he died. I was with him along with our daughters, throughout the last week. This gave us all some comfort.
In the endless meetings with officials I’m still introducing myself as ‘his wife’. I still feel like his wife ?

Iam you will always feel like his wife and that will give you comfort. Six months down the line, I am still saying “we” and not “I” because I still feel very connected to him, and I hope that won’t change, for me or for you as you begin this journey. Take comfort in your family and those who love you. My heart goes out to you.?
