Hi I am new to this group. After losing my daughter in Apri aged 35. Thought I would join and find some people in the same situation . X

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community.

    I am so sorry to read about the lose of your daughter, please accept my heartfelt condolences.

    Talking with others who are walking the same type of journey will help you navigate this challenging time.

    The New to Community is like the Community Reception area and as there are many cancer types and experiences so likewise the Community has many support groups so can I recommend you start by joining our supportive Bereaved family and friends group as this will be a good place for you to connect with other folks.

    Navigating the community will depend on the device you are using. To join a group just click on the green link above then scroll down and choose 'click to join' or 'join' on the page that opens.

    You can then introduce yourself by putting up a post by clicking  on ‘New Thread’ or ‘New here, say hello’ then hit the box with the X on the top right (phones).

    You could just copy and paste the text from this your first post and you can also join in with existing ‘Discussions’ by clicking on 'reply'. 

    Talking to people face to face can help a lot but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie’s Centre as these folks are amazing. During lockdown a lot of their services moved onto online video support. But I see our local Maggie’s (Inverness) are starting to open up for one on one support.

    It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of support or just a listening ear.

    All the very best ((hugs))
