Hi everyone. It's the first time i'm writing here or in any support forum.
My girlfriend has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. A week after this I've lost my grandfather due Covid.
I'm having hard time coping with all of this.
I don't even know where to start. I'm full of anger.
Hi
I am sorry to hear about your girlfriend and your grandfather, anyone in that position would have difficulties coping with their emotions but rather than calling them anger it might be helpful to consider them as shock and grief - that might help to change things from being something about you.
Looking at the grief side of things - there is no "right answer" to grief but there are people out there who can be quite helpful if as and when we feel the need. On top of that though you will be worried about your girlfriend and of course we all are coping with an extraordinary time with covid.
I am sure you have probably already found our pages on Thyroid cancer. One thing we all have in common in here is that what seems a massive gap between the diagnosis and a treatment plan, often the world seems to go in slow motion and we see "normal" people going about enjoying their lives and moaning about a queue to get in a shop of something that now seems totally trivial to us.
I wish I could take some of your pain away but perhaps the best I can say is well done for sharing on here - we do all lean on each other from time to time and even my sharing on here we help people who never even get over the barrier of the first post.
<<hugs>>
Steve
