Now at peace

So sorry for your loss, Strawberry Blonde. Over the coming  days/weeks/months be gentle with yourself. Please don't underestimate the toll the journey has taken on you. I was utterly exhausted on all levels (emotional, mental and physical) by the time G's journey ended.  Take each day as it comes. Some will be easier than others but you'll get through them all.

Remember we are still here for you. You're not alone.

I wholeheartedly agree that they must find more answers when it comes to this journey and more effective treatments. 

sending you healing love and light and hugs

Those months were precious to him as well. Now is the time to care for yourself

My son has a life limiting brain cancer. Having served in the British Army, a long standing friend was at Leeds hospital with his eighth secondary.  I asked him for advice, having three daughters and a beautiful wife.  His words were " you will never know how strong you can be until it's required" . We fought together, his words will never leave me. He died soon after, his dignity, and how he engendered trust and fortitude to those who had the first unwanted news was remarkable. 

Find peace, find sunset, your loved

Thankyou I’m so lost ,   The silence in our home is deafening as it was just us two. but he fought so very hard to stay. 

I understand. Feeling lost is only natural just now. As I said before, be gentle with yourself. Assuming you still have things to arrange and sort out, pace yourself with those tasks. Take it one step at a time.

I chose to keep busy for the first few weeks after G passed but you run out of chores to do eventually and have to slow down. The quiet times are tough but they get easier, I promise you.

Love n hugs

I'm so very sorry for your loss, time to be kind to yourself, take care of yourself and if you want to chat please just get in touch x

This is so true 4 weeks now and I have kept busy with tasks nearly every day , but hitting me hard now as those things run out 

HI Strawberry Blonde

please be gentle with yourself. Its potentially only now that some aspects of the journey will start to sink in. It was around that  point that I opted to go for counselling and to be honest, it really helped me get my head around a few things. I also continue to journal a lot and that helps too.

Take things slowly and one step at a time. Some days will be easier than others and please don't beat yourself up if there is the odd off day. They're allowed. Grieving/healing takes time and its messy. I wrote this community blog for MacMillan last summer
