Natalie:
So sorry to have you here and very sad to hear about your husband. Take Georgia's advice. She has helped me tremendously with my loss which was pretty close to yours. Laurence died on Dec. 24 08 from brain cancer which was a 2.8 year battle.
In the state of shock that I was in, I never even thought about eating (didn't have any desire); or even drinking liquids. But you need to drink LOTS of liquids if you are not eating; have to replace all of those tears. Because of my wonderful friends here, I took their advice and I lived on a liquid diet of Ensure, Gatorade, light soups, for 3 months.
This is a very hard journey; allow yourself to cry whenever you want to; rant, rave, scream. And tell us about your husband and your family.
This site has been a God send for me; I'm not sure I would have made it without all of these wonderful "new" friends I have that understand.
Hugs and prayers for U,
Carrie
