A young woman is shedding light on how her former lover’s cancer battle was taking a toll on her life and therefore she just couldn’t deal with it anymore.
Pain and grief can really play with our mental health in a manner that can be hard to describe. And that’s why one woman is sharing with the world how her mental health was going down the drain when she found out about her man’s cancer battle.
Therefore, she opted to leave him and did feel so guilty afterward for doing that. “I know a lot of people are going to hear my story and think I’m the worst person on the planet. And how selfish I was for taking a stance on the matter”- she added.
But the woman explained how she needed to do this for herself as she just couldn’t take the pain and emotions being thrown at her.
She revealed how it was just all so sudden and the thought that he might not make it out of the battle had her just all wound up.
According to her, there was no choice but to leave him because his treatment was so complex. His cancer had spread to places where he was required to undergo surgery. This had chemotherapy and radiotherapy involved too. He even had to learn how to walk again.
Was it an easy decision for her, absolute not. She cannot even begin to imagine a life without him and how incomplete she feels. But now, she’s raising awareness of cancer and running marathons in his honor. She respects him and how far he’s come in his journey.
“At one moment in time, we were buying a home together and the next thing you know it, we’re just not in this anymore”- she cried.
