loss of my sister

my sister passed away last saturday,30th april.just 3 weeks ago she was fine,u wouldnt think anything was wrong.after coughing up blood she went to hospital and we were devastated to discover she was diagnosed with oesophagal cancer.it spread extremely rapidly from then onwards,to her lungs,hip bone,spine and liver.treatment wasnt an option as there was nothing that could be done to save her.she was transferred to hospice and passed a week later.its just so unreal at the moment,like it hasnt happened in that short space of time.im trying to get my head round it all from 3 weeks ago to now.how could this happen so quick.devastated and heartbroken and struggling to cope with arranging everything now for her funeral.unreal,i feel like im in a bubble

  • Hi Maria, 

    I am so very sorry for the loss of your sister, it must have been such a shock for it to happen so quickly, like a whirlwind, my dad was diagnosed in late feb with stage 4 lung cancer and i am still taking it in.  It must be so hard to accept everything at the moment.

    i am new to the site, hopefully someone will send you a message with some great advice and stratiges.

    i just wanted to send my love 

    dawn
