hi, its me again

it happened really quickly

he left us tonight and im glad he was sound asleep

if anyone has any advice on helping how to get through this i would be happy to hear it 

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. You must be in shock, especially that this happened to your grandpa so suddenly. I lost my dear nan to cancer on 31st January. We lost her within three weeks of her re-diagnosis. The pain and sadness is, at times, unbearable. My Nan was only 74 and she was the centre of our world. 
 

im not sure I could give you any advice regarding coping mechanisms as my grief is very raw right now and if I'm honest, I don't really know how I got through those first few months. The pain and sadness is still very much there but I guess the only thing I would suggest is that you talk to someone, even if it's just on here. This site can bring a sense of comfort in a strange way as there are lots of people going through their own grief at the same time, and it helps to talk about it. 
 

Sorry I can't offer much more but I just wanted to let you know that someone has read your post and reached out. 
 

Thinking of you and your family at this very sad time,

Louise 
 

thank you louise, i'm also sorry to hear about your nan, three weeks from a rediagnosis is so sudden :(

thank you so much for getting back to me, it's been so difficult and i really appreciate your kind words ️

we'll get through this no matter how hard it is 

sending you all my love and support
