I’ve recently lost my brother very suddenly to bowel cancer. He was only 37. I’m really struggling. We were best friends. Is there anyone else in a similar position?
Hi Chloe21 and welcome to the Online Community although I am sorry to hear about your lose -my sincere condolences. I do hope you will find the community a safe place to get support and ask your questions.
The Community is divided into support groups (discussion rooms) and I see that you have joined our Bereaved family and friends group. This is a safe place to talk to others who are navigating this challenging time, to ask questions and get support.
If you'd like to connect in with a group click on the Green (Bold) link(s) I have created above. Once the group page opens you can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go.
Macmillan have many support services so do check out the Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. These services provide emotional support or just a listening ear.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing supporting all the family.
Give me a shout if you need further help.
All the very best.
