My Nan passed away on sunday

as the title says, my Nan passed away very suddenly on Sunday morning after a year battle with pancreatic cancer. She got diagnosed last August and had surgery in October just before I got married. She found out 2 and a half weeks ago that it was gone from her pancreas but had gone to her liver instead.. the symptoms seemed to hit her literally a day later but was taken medication and coping but Sunday morning she started vomiting blood and died trying to get up to throw up again. I am really struggling to come to terms with how quick it happened. I went to see her in her bed to say goodbye and the picture of her in bed is in my head and I’m struggling to cope with it. Sorry I’m just rambling now.. I feel a bit lost and not knowing what to do. 

  • Hi there ...

    So so sorry your going through this heartbraking time at the moment.... I'm a nan with cancer too ... and my granddaughter is my world , so I can so feel for you ... 

    But you know if I go from this cancer, I'm gonna look over my granddaughter... she is only 7 ... and when she asked me if I was going to die , I told her if I do I'll be the little star next to the bright one that we always said was my mum's... so she could look up and I'd be there ... and I'd be looking down on her ..

    So I know your older, but look up at them stars .. she just may be looking down at you ... and you keep her in your heart now .. every time that picture comes into your head ... remember the funniest best memory you have of her.... relive it slowly in your head .. remember what was said ...and how it made you feel ... till that sad memory goes ...

    Your nan was far more then the cancer  ... remember her that way ...  other wise cancer wins .. coz it wants to take away the good memories and replace them with sad ones ... I want my granddaughter to just remember the good times ... sending you a vertual hug.... Chrissie
