&lt;p&gt;The hardest part is having to tell her grandchildren (my kids) that nan is really ill, my eldest cried the youngest sat their and hardly said anythink.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was such a huge blow my heads all over the place and trying to be strong for my mom and dad and also my girls and husband, but all I do is start to cry when I have time to think and wonder why&amp;nbsp;and just feel totally helpless&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
