Coping with the death of my daughter

Less than one minute read time.

On the 31st of Dec 2010 I took my daughter to the doctor as she had  pain  in her abdomen.,The doctor referred us to hospital with suspected appendicitis she was  admitted and told that keyhole surgery would be  performed.Many hours later we that were told they had to operate as they had found a blockage in her bowel and other lumps which needed to be sent off.On the 29th of january 2011 Gemma was told she had an unnamed sarcoma.Five days later she was dead.Nothing on any forum anywhere shows anything like this.Prior to the 31st Dec Gemma was a healthy busy 26 year old.I thinkI am losing my mind

    Noreen, there isn't much I can add to what has already been said.   This disease is shocking, barbaric, brutal, and totally without mercy.   There can be no greater loss than the one you've suffered . I just hope that this website and the members can be of some help to you.

    Dear Noreen

    I can say nothing except I know all your pain. We lost our daughter baged 26 too on July 30 2010. All you can do is try to share your pai. Tonight is another bad night for me. It is good to know I have some communication here - and others who really know the pain. Our daughter was healthy and young and full of vitality too - the last 12 weeks got her well and truly. Perhaps your daughter suffered less because it was so fast, though I know that's of no help. The shock of the short time must make it so hard to absorb. We can't absorb our loss even though at the end it was obvious what was going to happen. But the human spirit continues to hope in spite of all

    I am always here to talk and listen
