Cancer destroying what's left of our marriage and life

I am so sick and tired of dealing with my husbands stage four sclc. Even though I have been dealing with his stage four sclc with him for almost three years, my lack of support has made me feel suicidal. I keep thinking of ways end my life and I AM IN THERAPY but all I can see is no way out of this nightmare but death. We don't have friends and few family members and they aren't understanding. We never took vacations and now it isnt possible. I FIND MYSELF RESENTFUL OF ALL THE COUPLES RUNING AROUND HAVING A GOOD TIME when we are stuck and cant go or do things because of it in his brain and needing a walker.

Hello @deniae. Just joining in this support group shows you that you are not alone. You are having suicidal thoughts and need much more help than your current therapist is giving you. Has your therapist mentioned medication for depression? Does your town have an emergency line/shelter/ER available for suicidal people? Can you locate a nursing facility with respite care for your husband to provide yourself with a few days of caring for yourself only? Have you looked into asking your doctors for help finding supportive care? Life can be so very unfair and you have been dealing with this for years. Seek more help from the medical community. Be strong. Keep fighting.
