To sass I am so sorry for your loss.

I haven’t been able to get on line this week. Veronica – after all these years that have passed since I lost my grandmother I know I surpressed a lot of emotions when she died. Your blog helps me to deal with the sorrow even after all this time because you tell it how it is and that makes me realise that some things I do now are related and a lot of the way I was in the year after her death were grief driven.

Its tough – no one prepares us for this – I think your friend’s suggestion of grief counselling is good. I wish I had sought specialist support retrospectively.

I can’t mend your broken heart and I just wish I could really.

Hugs to you… I am so sorry for your loss but glad to wish you a happy birthday!

I know it’s easier said than done but count your blessings and be glad for the time you did have with her. Treasure and dwell on those memories. Try not to waste your energy on the bad memories of her passing.

hugs V,
Cancer is horrible.
I would never wish it on my worst enemy.
Grief and being the one left behind is hard too.
THere is no right of wrong.

Be gentle with yourself, my friend.

This is a hard time for sure. Your Nan’s house was the last link and now it will be someone else’s home. You’ll look over and see the lights and know that you can’t just drop in anymore. **Hugs**

I’m beginning to think cancer is like the common cold. There’s no cure for that yet either.

((Hugs)) Please know that you are not alone…

After 12 years of remission, my mom’s breast cancer has returned. Fortunately, the prognosis is good, but still it’s still scary.

It’s not fair. It’s not supposed to get harder. It’s supposed to get easier… time is supposed to heal all wounds.

Dammit. I’m so sorry.
