My personal depression while my grandad has cancer

My grandad has had cancer for a while..

Untill very recently has it become so bad that he cant walk and barley talk.

Hes stuck in bed.

 

Hes such a strong proud masculine man and to see him confined to one place really knocked me back.

 

I have been so strong for him but for the first time in this long journey ive literally been unconsolable.

Im severly depressed and so over whelmed.

Selfish i sound i know 

I have no one to talk to because i dont want to burden anyone.

 

Is this a normal way to feel when watching someome you adore go through this. 

 

 

  • Oh my ... it's completely normal... nothing in life prepairs us for the trauma of loosinfpg someone .. there's no books, not even mentioned in school ... so it's something we all have to go through in life .. sadly it's a part of life ...

    My mum died suddenly from a heart attack and I had no chance to even tell her I was so proud to be her daughter.... or one more hug ..  I was 36 at the time .. and she was my best buddy ... 

    You have that chance I never had... make every day a memory day... ask him about his life, bet there's lots you don't know , share tears, hugs, and leave nothing unsaid .. try not to look ahead .. just make the most of every moment, and you'll be pleased you did .. 

    But it's o.k to cry / cuss at this crule cancer ... we all do, everyone on here has been touched by it ...

    Sending you a vertual hug...  Chrissie x
