This week has sucked. On Saturday I lost the love of my life. My wife passed away following a battle with cancer. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer back in 2012 (shortly after I was told I was in remission) and went through chemo and a mastectomy. In September of 2013 she was pronounced in remission. Then comes February. She was having trouble breathing and I took her to the ER. They told us the cancer was back and has spread all over. Her Liver, Brain and bones were involved. She started chemo and radiation and fought a good fight. Saturday her body lost the battle. I say her body because the cancer killed her body but not her soul. I have been a mess since then. I have a had a lot of support from my family and friends. My wife had been supportive of my dressing at first but had cooled a bit over time. She did not mind just so long as i did not do it while she was around. My sister and a good friend of mine both know about my dressing and have been supportive. I ended up telling my step mom the other day. She was very cool about it and I was able to sit and watch tv in my nightgown. She texted me the next day and asked if my dad knew. I said no and she said I should tell him and that he would be cool. She told him and he came to me and told me that he infact dresses on occasion and has actually been out while dressed. I was floored. It has just been a week and I am ready to just relax.
