Hi, @maddiec, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Thank you for sharing some of the things that have helped you in this grieving process, like socializing with friends and family, and trying to keep busy.
You mentioned grieving since your husband's diagnosis since 2016, and that he passed away in 2018. I'm guessing others have also had the experience of grieving before a loved one passed away. I'm wondering if you would share a bit more about what that was like learning about his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer?
