Hello 
my name is Lizzy and I lost my aunt to Cancer on New Years Eve 2021. She battled cancer on and off for 5 years, going into remission twice.
I’ve found that I’m really struggling recently and felt it was the right time to reach out for some support.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community although I am sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt. A loss in the family can be such a stressful and challenging time but 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) so can I suggest you consider joining our supportive Bereaved family and friends group. This is a safe place to talk to others who may are walking the same path, to ask questions and get support from family on the same journey.
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 click on the black banner that says [click to join] at the bottom, or the [Join] button under "Group tools."
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. You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.
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 and aim to give support to all the family.
Please do get back to me if you need further help.
All the very best.
