I can feel your pain and don't have any words to offer that could possibly help. You will find inner strength from somewhere and the love of your family and friends will support you. Just let them help you. We don't always have to put on a brave front and it's ok to let others see your sadness. They will want to hold you up at the moment. Just let them.  I am thinking of you. xxx

Hi there ...

So so sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment... just wanted to reach out and say your not alone ... we lost our 18 year old granddaughter to acute myeloid leukaemia a few months ago... just starting her life ... or should be ... it's like a hole is left in all our hearts, that will never heal...

So hold on to one day at a time ... and I'm sure your daughter needs you so much now ... it's o.k to share tears and hugs and hold on together ...  sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie xx

This is heart-breaking. You ask: "Why do these terrible things happen?" That's exactly the question I ask too. It's not right. I wish there were something I or somebody else could do to help with your pain. It's devastating. I hope you and your daughter can come together and get through this.

I'm truly sorry for your loss, I don't even know whatelse but to say other than this I am afraid. Life can be unbelievably cruel. 

Sending you and your family a lot of love and a big virtual hug. Xxx

Hi chrissie you always reply and you always make sense in this sad mixed up world ive lost sam at 25 my hearts ripped apart the pain is so intense .i know you have lost your grandaughter does this ever get easier  much love zoe x

Hi ...

Well I've lost so many over the years, and I could always think how they'd had a good or long life ,,, and know to honour their memory, I'd put them in my heart and as a family always bring them with us, and talk about them, esp my amazing mum ..

But Jess, was 18 ... just starting ... I would have stayed in hospital with her at times, but covid stopped that .. not even a hug was allowed .. and to see her go through 7 months of intense treatments, in my head would end in her being well ..

So this loosing a young one has hit me like a sledge hammer.... no l can't reason with it ... and I know we all have to live with that pain .. while remembering her good days ... her well days ... she never let her smile go, even the day before we lost her ... so yes, I'll honour her wonderful life and love of that life .. and in it never getting easier ... it means she's right beside us every day ...

Her little brother, who's 6, said to me, when we die, we can see and be with Jess again ...he said it quite logiically ... and he and Jess little sister 9, is getting us through each day ... so cancer can do one ... it will never hurt her again .. and we stick two fingers up to it .. we will keep her in our hearts safe now ..

So please know, they are just through a door, we can't see them, but they are right there, looking over us .. and one day, like my grandson says, well see them when it's our time ... Chrissie x x

Hi

That is beautiful, butterfly kisses, My daughter died of gbm July 2019, sometimes I think the pain has eased and then it comes back with a renewed force.

Hi All, im actually on this site has i lost my Husband to cancer aged 57 last June. But in Novemver 2004 i lost my super fit 15 yr old Son, he dropped dead at football practice. He was the fittest in his year.  Because we has 2 younger siblings we were refered to a specialist children's hospital in London. The professor who checked our family out for hereditary conditions said he saw at least 12 families a week like our selfs to super fit people.

You will have seen last week the young footballer that got saved. His heart just stopped but thank god they brought him back.  The reason i mentioned all this is to say its horrific and for the first two years i was zombified, functioned but not there if ya can understand. Its been 16 years and i still think of him everyday. But it does ease off abit but never goes away. 

Me and Ian brought our 2 kids up and learned to enjoy life again. Then he found out he had oesophagus cancer in June 2019 and battled a year. I now live alone and its very lonely 

Take care

Debbie x
