I lost my grandad

Over the last 6 months my grandad was diagnosed with cancer.... 3 weeks ago my grandad collapsed and I brought him back. I shouldn't of done this but my Nan and my 15 year old daughter were there and I couldn't let them see this. From there I nursed him for the following 36 hours till he parted a peaceful goodbye. I'm struggling to get my head around this and am resentful towards myself daily. Any help?? 

  • Hi Chrissygd,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and everything you've been through. I would like to pass on condolences and I'm sure this must be incredibly tough.

    No doubt it will take some time to come to terms with this, so try to take things one day at a time and try to be kind to yourself too.

    If you feel you're struggling and would like to talk to someone, have a look at the Cruse website - they have some helpful resources as well as a helpline. Sometimes it can help to talk things through and to reach out to others. I also hope that this forum can provide some small support for you.

    Wishing you all the best,
