My eldest daughter 25 has AML. Even typing these words seems unbelievable. I feel so sad and worried about the future and want to be positive but feel so devestated for her, I just can’t sleep or eat and cry. I don’t let her see but this is so hard to cope with. We are so close and the thought of not having this bond terrifies me.
Hi BevH
Sorry to hear about this, certainly not something anyone wants to hear and even more so when it is one of our children.
We often hear about people wanting to be positive and while there can be some good to working this out together it can be really quite difficult to find. My relationship with my wife is a lot closer now as we have been living with cancer to over 10 years but it took quite a lot of work.
If we look at your feelings when someone has cancer I know I see a lot of what I went through. I did a living with less stress course that really helped me with appreciating what we have rather than worrying about a future I could not control .
Do post on here whenever, it can be amazing how just reaching out even just in type can help.
<<hugs>>
