Anticipatory Grief

Hi Zoe_1511 im so sorry about your nan. I lost my last grandparent when i was about your age but that was a long time ago. I did lose someone who i was close to a few years back not to cancer but to another horrible illness and even though i knew it was coming it was still a shock and i felt a lot of anger. I promise you will carry on without her ( im sure she would want you to ). In time it will hurt less and you learn to live with it. These forums are split into different sections to make it easier to connect with people in your situation. I have put a link below for you to pick which one is best for you.

Hi Bungle1, thank you so much for your kind reply. I’ve been struggling quite a lot with this and it really helps to know that I’m not alone. I’m really sorry to hear that you lost someone that you were close to, and I appreciate the reassurance that it will be okay in time. I’ll definitely take a look at the link, thank you again xx
