I'm so sorry for your loss
I lost my husband to cancer last year and know how devastating the grief is at only a couple of weeks out. My heart goes out to you.
If you don't feel ready to face counseling, you may find comfort in talking to others young widows at www.ywbb.org. There are many who post there who are dealing with complicated grief. They, better than anyone, will understand what you are going through.
As an aside, to those who believe cancer is always a "slow burn" you should know that the time between diagnosis and death can be as little as few days with an aggressive cancer.
