Terminal illness

Hello i am new to this site. My sister who is 35 has been told her cancer is now terminal and has been told she has weeks to live we have her at home and are trying to be strong for her. I am so angry that she has been through so much being diagnosed at just 30. Im struggling to come to terms with this i am so lost and sad my heart feels like its breaking in two. 

  • So sorry to hear you have lost your sister so young Leanne. 3 years ago I lost my husband, he was 50 and we had been married for 25 years. Me & my daughter looked after him at home. I take comfort in knowing we loved him so much and did all we could and remember so many happy times. Work with your family to look back on those fabulous memories. Whilst it is still very hard you do get stronger but it still hurts and there are still tears. So glad you got to spend time with her at the end. Lots of luv to you and your family xxx
  • Thankyou, she was surrounded by all her family which was so comforting im so sad its still quite raw at the min just lost my motivation for everything. The amount of cards we have recieved from neighbours and friends is oveewhelming. I hope one day we can talk about her without being upset xx 

  • Hello I'm new too & I'm with you and I know what your going through as my sister has been through so much she is 40 & lost her daughter aged 12 4 years ago & now she has terminal cancer with few weeks to go... I feel so sad & angry especially as she never taken drugs or over drank alcohol its so hard to take in and she laves behind her son who is 12 I just feel helpless. life is so cruel sometimes eh x
  • That is so sad. My sister also never smoked or drank very much alcohol. It has been 3 days now and things have started to sink in. Life is very cruel. I was very angry at first but my sister was not angry at all she just accepted that it was what it was. She was so brave until the end it was a pleasure to be her sister. Hope yous are coping as well as can be. X
