Hello
Like many others I am new to this, I never dreamt I would be where I am now, 66 years old and widowed, what a horrible word that is, I lost Joan my wife of 47 years in july 2012 she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the begining of 2010,
was given a masectomy followed by chemo then told she was in remmision, 3 months later, following a check up scan we were told it had appered in one of her lungs,then followed more chemo until in early 2012 we were told there was no more that could be done,I now feel completely alone as we were, and had always been not just husband and wife but also soul mates, I feel that not only has Joans future been taken away but also mine, as I had only at the begining of 2012 fully retired and all the things which we as retired people are supposed to do have been taken away.
