Hi all
I am new to the group, and wanted to see if anyone is/has been going through the same or similar as me. I'm 33 and my Dad passed away 4 weeks ago from non-hogkins lymphoma, and my Mum was battling secondary breast cancer at the same time. We found out today the cancer has gone to my Mums brain and I'm really struggling to comprehend all of this while grieving for my Dad and support her in the loss of her husband. I feel so lonely and down, and wondering how we are going to get through this.
Hi Koggs
Back in 2013 I lost my dad to a long debilitating illness and then my mum died out of the blue just six weeks later so in at least that aspect I have some relation to your story, It was quite devastating at the time as you might expect but somehow we coped. Since then cancer decided to take a punt at my wife and that was hard too. I am glad I found the strength to reach out and find some help. On here I often find people in similar circumstances and somehow that seems to help us all feel that bit less lonely.
<<hugs>>
