Grandmother passed.

My lovely nana passed away at 20.22 last night from throat cancer. I am devastated, I watched her pass and I can't get it out of my head, her breathing, her face.. 

She waited til it was just family to pass and she was peaceful but God I am hurting, I've lost my appetite and I just want to sleep, I'm getting pain in my chest and I am terrified of having a heart attack

My nan was my everything and I am so lost and empty.. it doesn't feel real. 

Advice would be appreciated.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss Dmma94.

    Losing someone we love so dearly is one of the most difficult things to go through but I hope it helps to know you are not alone as so many of our members know what you are going through at the moment and I'm sure you will receive some support and advice from them soon.

    Coping with grief, especially in the evenings when you may be alone and have more time to think and reflect on things, can be very difficult so if you need to talk to someone do give the Samaritans a call on 116 123. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and will do all they can to listen and support you at this difficult time.

    We are thinking of you Dmma and sending all our strength and support your way.

    Kind regards,
