My grandad

Hello everyone, I don’t really know what to say as I’m not good with my words. 

My grandad 82 years old has been diagnosed with terminal  bowel cancer, he has been given 6 months left to live, there is nothing they can do for him either. 

I just need a little help on how to cope with it all. I am breaking down at every point I am alone and the pain seems to just get worse. I go and see him as much as I can and spend time with him. I am just wondering if anyone had advice on how I can cope with it myself as he is my best friend and it’s making me depressed knowing I’m not going to have much time with him any more. He is such a strong brave man and I don’t want to keep breaking down every time I see him as it upsets him. If anyone can give some advice or some form of inspiration to help I’ll be much appreciated. 

 

Thank you so much.

  • Hay James ... So sad a time your having ... Losing someone you love is never easy ... But when they are your best friend too makes it even more heartbreaking ....

    I'm going through my cancer journey at the mo and my 5year old grand daughter is my world and me hers , so the thought of how she will feel when I go terifies me ... But I've always told her the bright star in the sky is my mum looking down from heaven has eased the way , to were she asked if I'd be up there one day with my mum ... And I said yes ... And that Everytime she looked up I'd be smiling down to let her know how much I loved her ... She seems quite happy with that ... 

    So I've always thought when you love someone so much they don't leave , they just watch over us till it's our time and we will meet again ...

    Make the most of every day and hold his hand and tell him all the things you want to say ... I'm sure he's as proud of you as I am my little Emily ... And remember there's so many people who will never know what it's like to have such a wonderful relationship with their grand parent ... You have been blessed ..

    My thoughts are with you ... All these feelings your having are normal ... It's all a part of loving and in the end letting go ... But he will always live in your heart and no one can take that away ... Big hug chrisie xx
