Hi. I just want to talk to someone about this. My nan has just passed away yesterday after battling cancer for 4 years. And I just want to talk to someone. I'm feeling really down because she meant a lot to me. But I also knew it would happen, I expected it but I don't think I will ever get through this. Please help. I feel really sad
I feel really unlucky at the moment. My mother has had cancer. She had it when I was 9. My Granddad passed away last year due to lung problems. My nan passed away yesterday due to 4 lots of mouth cancer that couldn't be prevented any longer so they stopped treating her. I am no longer a granddaughter because all of my grandparents have passed away. And I have a brain sist. So I'm used to hospitals, but not when I've had to see so many people die there. Please help. Even though I have my family. I feel all alone
You will always be their grandaughter, even though your grandparents are no longer around.
Your feelings are completely natural. However much we try to prepare ourselves, death always comes as a shock to us as it is so final and any threads of hope we may have had are finally gone. Allow yourself time to grieve and remember that whatever you are feeling your Mum will be feeling the same if not worse. Support each other as best as you can and make allowances for the fact that you are both grieving.
Meanwhile, try your best to remember the good times with your Nan and the way she was when you were both younger and times were happier.
I hope you and your Mum get through the coming weeks OK.
