Firstly, thank you for allowing me to join your group. I do hope I'm in the right place. I would like to draw on peoples experiences on how to deal with the loss of someone very special to me to throat cancer. My world was falling apart when my aunty was diagnosed with throat cancer, she has since passed away & I've hit rock bottom. I continue to sob daily & don't want to do anything like, speak with people, socialise & everything is an effort. I need help to deal with my loss. My sincere apologies if I'm not in the right group. Doris
His Doris and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your aunty to throat cancer and it's no wonder that you're feeling as you do.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I'm going to recommend that you join the bereaved family and friends group which is for anyone who has lost a family member or friend to cancer to share their feelings and support one another.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
