Hi, I lost my 49 year old daughter Sharon on the 28th July. She had a brain tumor which was successfully removed on the 26th July. She was recovering well until the early hours of the Sunday morning when she had a bleed on the brain. She was taken back into theatre but had a heart attack and stroke and never recovered. I am absolutely heartbroken and still can't believe I won't ever see her again. She was far too young to be taken from our family.
I am so verry sorry that you lost your daughter. You should never have to lose your child. It must be very hard for you to bear. I lost my mum to a brain tumour on 28 June so I am going through the same process. I hope you have close relatives that you can support each other as no one else can know what you all feel at losing this person special to you. I get some comfort from my sister as we know we both feel the same. Be kind to yourself, dont be pressured to do anything until you are ready. Allow yourself time to grieve. My main problem was for a month after I felt surrounded by people and things to do re funeral and finances and I couldnt get a quiet minute to myself to just sit and be sad and remember and I was screaming in my head so much I thought I would explode. Through August I have gone to ground, avoiding contact with all but really close family and allowing myself the space I needed. Sending you lots of love.
