Numb

hello everybody. I've visited this site for weeks reading your brave stories . The thing is we lost our wonderful daughter to lymphoma in October 2018 . She was 27 years of age . A school teacher with a beautiful 3 year old of her own . We are now raising our granddaughter. The pain in my heart stops my breath and every day I wake up scared of what the future holds . I lost my mum to cancer in 2017 and my husband has had it twice . I keep thinking if I die what will happen to my granddaughter. My daughter was everything to us and I can't get certain images out of my head . I can't cry to much as I don't want the little one to see me . It's so hard when she asks about mummy. I just don't know how I will ever come to terms with it . She was my best friend and always in my corner. I'm lost without her . Why is life so cruel to good people. 

  • Hi

    I am so so sorry for your loss. You're right, life is cruel. You may get some peace of mind having a will that states what happens to your granddaughter in the unlikely event that you and your husband can't care for her. 

    I can't imagine your pain, they say in time it will ease, until then, I guess it's one day at a time and focus on that little girl instead of what ifs. Ask professionals for help in helping her through the grief. 

    Lots of love

  • Oh how terribly sad, MyGirl. I am so sorry. You are right - cancer is just horrid. Cruel. To take away someone so precious and so young. 

    I cant imagine how you’re feeling....to suffer such an awful loss and to have to hold it together for your Granddaughter. 

    What with everything that’s gone on, it’s only natural for you to feel fearful. I was once told something about Mindfullness....when fear takes over, to try and stay in the present moment and not get too carried away looking in to the future. To be here, present - right now - not looking forwards may bring you some relief xx 

    Nobody knows what the future holds and your dear Mum, Husband and daughter being diagnosed is not evidence of something happening to you xx 

    i do hope you hang around this forum...it’s such a great place to come to if you’re in need of an ear or support xx 

    i am so sorry again for the loss of your daughter xx
