Distraught

How do I get through this. I lay next to my 15 year old daughter as she gasped her last breaths and died. 9 months treatment for a cardiac sarcoma. Open heart surgery, gruelling chemo and then during her 6 weeks proton beam therapy she developed 3 aggressive brain tumours and died 3 weeks later. We had her home for 3 weeks palliative care after she developed left side paralysis as the tumour was so big. I can't get to sleep tonight as rel-living  the sound of her gasping to breath as she lost the ability to swallow. There doesn't seem to be anyone who understands the loss of a teenager full of life and dreams. How do I get through? How does my family function without her?

  • So sorry that you have lost your gorgeous daughter. There are helpline numbers and councillors available for you Macmillan should be able to help you find them. Your GP probably has access to the area contacts, if no, joy ring the department that treated your daughter.  I'm surprised that you have not been offered councillors and support, they really helped when I lost a baby due to a really late miscarriage and my GP was really supportive, 

     l hope you have some help soon x
