Lost both my grandparents

I am 16 and I feel so lost in this world, I have lost my Granda to eusophagus and liver cancer and I couldn't see him to say my goodbyes do to the Coronavirus lockdown and social distancing, I may not even be able to attend his funeral due to covid-19, this has come just 2months after I lost my nana to lung cancer, I don't know how to cope with the loss of both my grandparents in such a short space of time as when I was younger they were like my parents, 

  • Hi Louise0161,

    I'm so sorry to read about your grandparents. This sounds incredibly difficult and made even tougher with everything that's going on at the moment.

    I hope you have others around you who can offer support and that you can speak to. If not, please know there is support available - including from us here on this forum; we're always here to listen and it's often helpful simply to write down any thoughts, feelings or worries.

    Do also have a look at the Cruse website - they offer support to people in situations like yours.

    Things may be difficult for a while, but with time things should become a little easier - or at least more manageable. I hope you're OK, and as I say do speak to others for support where helpful.

    Wishing you all the best,
