this sucks :(

just lost my nan over the weekend, she was diagnosed with cancer of the osophegus 5 months ago. Her knowing she was dying is devastating however she was Nana and was a strong woman. 

Even though I know this was coming I realise I was in denial and just put in my head she would kick it's *** even though her body was not strong enough 4 treatment.

 

I Have been lucky enough to only experience grief once as a child. I feel so ill with guilt and anger that this has happened. It was not her time however i suppose we can all say that!

I feel like I will never get over this but writing on here as helped get my feelings out. x 

  • Morning,  hope you slept ok, we called my nan , nana ! An absolutely beautiful and amazing woman,  i lost her 12 years ago,  12 years!? I still feel it now , and now my dad , my nana son passed away sat eve, I'm beside myself,  i already know this won't get easier.  I keep forgetting to take in oxygen woukd you believe,  keep gasping loudly and not even aware , i Think it's panic ,, but I'm hoping coming on here helps me put things more into perspective :/ x

  • Hello Rainbowrains; sorry you have lost your Nana.  The first time you lose someone you love is a shock to your system and difficult to get your head around.  We don't know when our time will come (and I don't think I would want to know in advance!). I am much older than you and lost my Nana when I was in my twenties; she had been ill with dementia for some time and in a way it was a relief when she let go.  But we all still remember her as the loving Nana she was before she was ill.  That is the picture you will carry in your heart.  Best wishes to you.  Annie
