I’ve lost loved ones and dealt with grief before but this time round just seems so much harder to process than ever before. My friend is 24 and is battling an incredibly aggressive sarcoma in his stomach , leg and lungs which they have given him 12 months to live. Our hearts are breaking he’s so young and kind and I’m so angry at the world because he just doesn’t deserve to be going through all of this. Me and my friends can’t picture life without him , he was fine at the beginning of the year and began getting hip pain in March which we put down to being part of the job working in food and beverage lifting barrels etc his diagnosis didn’t happen until June and it’s all happening so fast. Surgery failed and it’s grown back and spread and he is in so much pain and not having any control over this is leaving us so helpless and lost. None of us want to lean on the other because we are trying to protect each others feelings as we are all hurting , it’s a very lonely place to be for us all. I don’t even know why I’m writing all of this as I know no one can take this all away I’m just so sad and lost
