When my husband was diagnosed back in October 2003, I cried so much. His cancer was so far along and we didn't even know it. He went to work everyday feeling so sick but he didn't know why. Once we found out why, he never went back to work again. We would cry - not understanding the situation and the outcome. When I was alone, I really cried - like a baby. I have come to believe it is so normal to feel this way. I think if there is a significant other to share your crisis with, they should just hold each other and cry together and talk to the sun comes up.
When I was diagnosed, I really missed not having my husband to help and support me. I didn't cry for myself like I did for him. I think that is probably normal, too.
Stay strong and positive. Believe miracles happen when prayer and hope are involved.
