My daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer last spring; she sadly passed away just over 2 weeks ago at the age of 27 after much suffering.
With this Coronavirus it has been an absolute nightmare trying to organise a funeral single handed and it has been (and still is) a very stressful time I am finding it difficult to cope as I suffer with long term depression.
Life is is so cruel!
I agree, I think it's the cruellest thing about losing a child. You never dream you will still be alive and not them. I would have done anything to swap places with my daughter to give her the life she should have had.
It seems more unfair to me that both my parents are alive in their 90s, yet my daughter has died! How is that fair!!
These questions can never properly be answered other than Life is Unfair.
