    I lost my wife of 42 years after an 18 month battle with AML leukemia. I can't grieve but life seems unreal right now after 6 weeks. Is this normal Two weeks after she died I found out my own cancer had returned but at an extremely curable stage.

    There is no normal, no right way to feel. You are probably still in shock and of course nothing seems real. Grief will come when the time is right, but for now the shock may even protect you a little. I am so sorry for your terrible loss. I wish there were words I could say to make it better, but there is nothing that will help. They say time helps, but it's too soon for me to know that.
