I Devoted Myself to Caring for My Husband While He Was Sick — But After He Died, His Kids Heartlessly Threw Me Out on the Street

I met Alaric when I was 39. He was 52, kind, caring—the sort of guy who made you feel safe just by being around. We got married a year later, and I loved him in ways I didn’t know love could reach.

Then he got sick.

Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The kind that hits fast.

For two years, I fed him, washed him, and held him through the pain. His kids, Ophelia and Callum, stopped by now and then, but they never stayed long. They said work was too hectic, and they “couldn’t deal” with seeing their dad like that. But I dealt with it. Every day. Every night. Until his last breath.
