Seeking a place for support

I've signed up because my sister in law is in a hospice, with very little time left. She's 37 and was diagnosed with bowel cancer last summer. My wife is losing a sister and a best friend, and I am too. I guess I'm signing up to get support, be prepared for our journey through the grief. I know it is going to be so hard. We recently had a baby (6 months old) and we're gutted he won't have his auntie around him.

 

 

  • Hi there ...

    Oh my, cancer sucks big time ... and although this is really gonna be so hard, try to make the most of every hour / day given ... leave nothing unsaid... and they say hearing is the last thing to go... so keep talking ... she just may hear you ...

    My heart goes out to you all .. and I'm sure your little boy will know all about his auntie, from you all telling him ... we just bring them along in our hearts ... 

    Sending you all a vertual hug.... hold on in there ... Chrissie x

  • So, she passed away yesterday. She had family around her. She leaves behind two wonderful children aged almost 2 and 4. They'll be our inspiration and way out of this I think. It's so hard.

  • I'm so so sorry ...

    Words seem futile at this time ... I'm so glad her babies will have a loving family, to love them ...  my heart goes out to you ...

    Those children are half of her ... all the time you have them, you'll have a part of your sister... every time you hug them, you'll be hugging her ... every time they smile, it will be your sister smiling too ... 

    If this cancer ends up taking me, I'll know as long as my son's, and granddaughters live on... I'll be right there, ad I'm a part of them ... 

    Sending you a vertual hug... and a vertual hug for those little ones (a spiecial hug , l keep for my granddaughter)  Chrissie
