Hey Nash1310, 

I just came across your post and on behalf of everyone here at Cancer Chat, I want to offer you our heartfelt condolences for your loss.

Emotions will be very raw right now, but be kind to yourself Nash1310 and try to take things one day at a time.

I hope this information we have about coping with grief will help but hopefully some of our members who have lost a sibling to cancer will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice. Many of them have found that their loved ones passed, or possibly chose to pass, when they were not in the room either so try not to be too hard on yourself for not being there at that exact moment as your sister may have wanted to spare you the pain and anguish of seeing her pass.

If it would help to talk things through with someone, our team of cancer nurses are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. For further support and advice, you can reach out to bereavement charities such as Cruse Bereavement Care and/or Sue Ryder, both of whom are experts in this field and do all they can to help anyone who is struggling with grief.

We're sending you all our support Nash1310 and hope you can take some comfort from knowing that you are not alone at this very difficult time.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
